My first guess would be a Soling, but a couple angles look a bit off and the cabin/hatch is odd...

That was very common in the 'old days'. I have several boats from the 1980's with industrial gearheads like that. A large (read "heavy") die cast zinc gearbox with a 12 volt dc motor and a couple of micro switches. Running them off lower voltages, the sail arm was slow enough to be positioned with the bang/bang style control and a center sprung transmitter stick.

I used to go there often, until I moved out of the area. So now I go once or twice a month. I still belong to the local sailing club. Lake Balboa Model Yachr Club. They sail on second and last Sunday's of the month.
