I have a furler on my 40ft boat that was probably fitted when the boat was built around 1990
Can anyone identify it .
I need to dismantle it and it's not very obvious how

I think you’ll find it unscrews, possibly with an anti clockwise thread. Have you tried clamping the base of the foil and turning the drum?
 
I think it’s an old Rotostay ,there is a grub screw in the top drum slot .Or maybe in the drum body .
.The bottom end of the torque tube joined on the alloy foil is threaded into the drum .
The slot was designed for deck sweeper genoas.

Thank you I think you are correct. Looking online there are a bewildering number of models none of which quite look like mine ,but there is a lot of similar design features
