Is this a Finn?

http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/boats/3101509
I spotted this on a website here in Ireland. Looks a bit like an old wooden Finn. One picture shows the sail in the foreground.

Re: Help ID this Finn Lookalike

It's definitely not an Irish class. I've never seen one of these before and I've sailed all over Ireland.

Help ID this Finn Lookalike

I just spotted this on a local ads website
http://www.adverts.ie/boats-accessories ... ngy/721139
The price is crazy, I'd say they need to knock the 1 off that price.
It looks very like a finn, does anyone know what it is?
