Love my in-boom purchase!
My 1995 36 XL has a ‘magic’ 2, 3 or 4 purchase within the boom for the out
haul.(can’t recall exactly). Whatever it is, it can be used in any breeze in
which we do not need to reef our main (our go-to reefing).
Once we need to reef the main, there is no need for this p
I replaced mine for precisely the same reason.
It had a track along the bottom which was nice for mounting the vang and
mainsheet.
I put a 6 part set of blocks inside the back end for the outhaul purchase,
works great, no regrets.

In addition to what I said about the gooseneck matching the boom, my boom
came with a 3:1 or 4:1 in-boom purchase for the outhaul. A cabin top winch
is used for reefing and for the outhaul (when needed in heavier air).

Randy,
While I've never experienced a Selden boom on any C&C, I've been racing on a
Beneteau First 40 (Farr Yacht Design) for the past few years which has a Selden
spar set up. I do "pit" on race nights. The in-boom outhaul, reef lines,
and vang controls work seamlessly and can be adjusted i
After my boom cracked while on an ocean race, I replaced it with a Selden
boom, about five years ago. I'm very pleased with the new boom. Make sure
it will connect to the gooseneck on your mast.

Randy,

Randy,
I would not get the stoppers for the inboard end. They grab at the worst
possible time. I removed them from both of my Selden booms.
