I installed a Selden Furlex unit on my C&C 27 Mk I with no prior experience. The package back then included a new head stay which was metric in both the cable and pin size. Mast stayed up during the install. I had an engineer friend check my measurements before I cut anything.
After Katrina, my sons and I installed a Schaffer 1000 on my replacement C&C 30 Mk I. Mast was left standing. Different assembly from the Furlex, but no problem with either brand. Follow the instructions and measure carefully before cutting.
