I went simple. Got two Garhauer (soft) boom vang kits, one large and one small. The large one gives me 4:1 and the small one also gives 4:1. Hook the small one up to the large one and you get 4:1/16:1. A child can sheet the main...
And it is pretty inexpensive. And the Garhauer blocks are bulletproof.

Think I still have original equipment and is in the cockpit. Can others provide me with types of blocks they use or recommendations? I viewed the Harken site, with recommendation a 6:1 triple block system (hexratchet at the base). A local sailmaker stated these fail quite often and have a lot of friction due to the twist. He recommended a 5:1 system. Can others provide suggested setups? Look forward to guidance.
