Looks a beauty, doesn't say made of wood, but hull contour suggests it.
PS Owner informs boat is glass over ply (he thinks)

I'd say its an OK Dinghy that has been fitted with a stayed rig- and bow sprit(!)

I'm not sure how it'd sail, but the photos suggest it does.

Looks a tiny bit like an OK dinghy that has been played with. But they have a swinging centreboard. All the pics are from the same angle so hard to tell.

I think its the original sail - cut down and the daggerboard is probably used to compensate for the altered CLR (suggested by its triangular shape).

It would be a bit milder than the original, but still not a bad little recreational boat for one and without all of the sail controls.

The KA number probably puts it back to the 1960's or 1970's

I was looking at my old OK and I think that if it gets to the end of its sailing life- due to broken mast or similar disaster- the hull shape would lend itself to a nice little rowing dinghy.
