Towards the end of last summer I stumbled upon a Minifish II for sale and it is in good shape for the most part but I am missing some of the rigging. I don't have the boom vang or the fiddle block for the top main. I would like to get some advice on what I would really need, so I don't overbuy or get something not sufficient and have issues.
Would a simple used 3:1 for 1/4 line off ebay (Holt-Allen/wedge) be ok for the boom vang? Any advice on what size fiddle block for the sail I should pick up? I have the lower block still attached but not the upper or should I replace both. Also I need to replace all the lines of course but they one that really throws me is the halyard it has a end that is a steal cable whipped to it. Can I just replace that with a 1/4 line I think the original was a 1/8" line.
I live on a small lake in the Seattle area and this will be to dink around the lake so I won't see any big swells or winds and can just swim home if need be
Thanks any advice would be welcome I don't have a clue what Im doing but plan to have fun.
