If you are reasonably handy then you can install it. Best to drop the
mast, but it can be done mast up if you can keep the forestay. And
keeping the forestay will depend on what furler you go with, I've got a
Harken cruising unit #1, had to change the forestay when I installed it.
I'd go with a new sail, but then it is really easy to recommend to
someone else that they spend their money...

I have mostly light winds here in Beaufort SC.
So out to 150% or at least a 135% would be best.
But, Can I install it? do I keep my forstay?

Congrats!
My 2 cents:
15 - 25 year old sails are shot. I don't know what your wind
conditions are like, but I would buy a Harken furler and a good
Dacron sail that covers most of your wind conditions. Partially
furled sails are not great upwind, but are fine for cruising.
It will cost several hundred dollars each to convert the old
sails. You might be better off picking up a used #3 and
converting the #1 or vice versa depending on condition.
You can stay within your budget if you shop around.
If you are happy with the sock, keep it.
Joel.

I have the approval from the admiral to purchase a new sail
and furler system for my C&C30MK1. 1981 1/4 ss wire
Any advise on how or what to buy? I have no Idea how to
proceed. I have a 115% 135% and a 170%. all hank on sails. I
have a asymmetrical in a sock as well.
My budget needs to be around or below $4, to 5 grand.
I'm looking for advise on the complete package.
1) can I install it?
2) how do I know what to buy? I sail local with fun club racing?
3) my sails are all from the 1980's and 1990's? Throw them out
and buy new?
3) Asy furler?
Thanks for your help
