I think I used the following:

2 Harken 021 Single Dingy Blocks (on boom).
1 Harken 060 Little Fiddle with Cam and becket.
1 Harken 082 Bullet (as traveler).

You can probably get away with smaller blocks on the boom,
possibly big bullets or just bullets. I had 1 of the 021's
left over from a Fireball that I sold (I was sick of getting
wet every time we sailed!). The 060 is $$$ but I couldn't find
anything else that would work as well and besides I'm a Harken
fan. You should also check out Garhauer, I think thay may have
a fiddle that will work (I didn't know about them when I did the
update 2 years ago.)

Web sites for Harken and Garhauer:
