It's probably not this, but it looks like a Pearson Finn

There's a few clues that it's not a Finn, such as the fact that the mast gate is at the back of the foredeck rather than being a hole in the middle of it. Pearson only made glass fibre Finns too.
To be honest, from the description and length it could be almost any local dayboat.

...not if it's ribbed clinker and 16' long!

should be investigated and saved but may be a day boat rather than a dinghy class
