Does anyone know the size of the sheaves used for the spinnaker in the mast? Same as the mast head and base or something else?

Mine came the same size and the block at the masthead has to be able to follow the chute where ever it wants to go. Mine has a swivel and a shackle which allow complete freedom. We took a knockdown during a race and you can picture the angle the block had to take then. The spinnaker is a tri-radial which we reach with off the wind. Enjoy the excitment of spinnaker flying.
