What was it?

[Bitter Gnat]

Love to see Babe Ruthless get restored. Legacy boat that is up there with Windward Passage and Ragtime....et al.

As far as the German sled. Bit of a winch hedge growing aft of the cab top. Where does the crew sit?

I recon further forward, hiking. Sadly didn't take a proper topside picture.
Wheel is quite forward too now that I think on it.

Update. Just noticed ole Babe Ruthless is no longer on A1A but moved into death row at Cracker Boys. I suggest we form a save BR foundation. Refit, carbon rig, sails, we need to have a rudder built... 300K later we could have a fun $50K boat to play with.
Such a common story.
