Re: finn- or something else
I don't think it's a Finn, as you say the mast socket is too far back. Maybe an o jolle if a single hander but the bow hole looks like the remains of a spinnaker chute so maybe a double hander - was there a small version of a Flying Dutchman?

Ebay tape measure. I reckon its an FD, I can see the characteristic FD genoa sheeting points.

FD for sure - but left outside uncovered for 5 years? That is an awful long time and I suspect she will need much TLC.

most probably a FD but if the measure at 16 Ft is correct could also be a Korsar (privateer - corsair) . famous mader boatyard made quite a nuber of them along with the top range FD and the tamer hard chine Kielzugvogel or Pirats

Re: finn- or something else
If it's 16ft long then it's not an FD unless someone has cut 3' 10" off it at sone time. Certainly not a Flying Junior.

Re: finn- or something else
The Flying Junior was mostly produced in Italy by ALPA and in the US by Harken/vanguard, there are not many of them in germany.
On the other hand Pirats and Korsars were active classes there for junior championships and back inthe 80's had a specific racing course at the KielerWoche.
