I am looking for information, or preferably pictures, of the boats that sailed in the 1987 Worrell 1000. Specifically, I am looking for one with a large 'S'-shaped rainbow on the mainsail with a dove near the bottom.

Can anyone confirm or deny this sail was used in the race? It was supposedly painted this way as a symbol of peace for the Russians who entered the race that year for the first time.

This vid has clips of alot of that era of the race. If you can find the national geographic vid on it, that might help too.
