I see the model is in 3DS format. You can import the entire model into Poser as one figure using Poser's import 3D Studio file function. Exploration will let you open the 3Ds file and select parts of it to re-save as 3DS or export to obj format. It sounds kind of like the furled sails will only work in Poser if converted to obj format?? Exploration is the only converter I've seen that let's you select parts to export/convert but others may as well. Basically, it's 3DS to OBJ conversion he's talking about. Here is a link to several converters (some free).
