Congrats on your "new" boat!
From googling "starcraft sailboat" I learned that the 12' version is called a "Seaflight".
They made a few other models of different lengths.

With the mast so far forward I'm going to guess that there may be only a big main sail and no jib, but I could be wrong. It could have a "handkerchief" jib.

Here is a really good reference on how to set up smaller sailboats: Rigging Small Sailboats - Title page

I had a similar old fiberglass boat that was fun to sail in shallow places other boats could not go. It was fun until the wind piped up to 15 mph or more. Start out with light winds and work your way up.
Have fun!
