That is cool, I found 

http://www.cruisingdirect.com/CDIRollerFurlers.htm

and perhaps thet is what these people used.  What I was
referring to in my earlier email were furlers which mounted
OUTSIDE the mast (thus non IMF, but OMF :^). Since I can't
recall the manufacture logo on the drums, perhaps there
were CDI. are they the only manufacture of furlers for main
sails?
