Here is a handbook for the Charleston Spars furling mast. THere are large phillips screws in the mast above and below the furling mechanism. Start putting some PB Blaster on them a week or so before attempting to remove them. Several applications and a manual phillips impact driver (Harbor Freight sells one for less than $20) will accomplish the task without wrecking the head of the screw.
Here is a single page parts sheet for the Schaeffer 2100. They make a longer toggle (the part above #41 in this drawing.
It allows modern anchors to roll off the bow without hitting the bottom of the furler. It is an expensive piece of stainless steel but I bit the bullet and purchased it for about $325. After a couple years I'll now say it was and is worth the price.
Looks to be the same as ours which is from Charleston Spar. This site has some good tips on furling the main.

Thank you. That's what I was thinking. And the foresail furler is a Shaeffer 2100, I think.
