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.

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
