BTW ... I just sent TheYachtMarket.com an email asking what the barrel is.
I didn't want to send one to the owner because I am not sure the second link
provided by someone is the same boat.

Perhaps, but more likely to store the monkeys.

For blowing up the boat if pirates try and board?

The barrels on SeaRay boats are to store extra gold chains, hair transplant
medicine and speedos.

Hmm. I'll bet you operate your keyboard with both left and right
fingers. That would, I believe, make you a "stereo" typist. :-)

Don't forget that grease they put all over themselves and really big
sunglasses

Did the OP say that he had seen this "barrel" on other sailboats?

I've been studying the picture and something occured to me. The ends appear
flat. Like a drum.
If it were for liquid storage, a rounded shape would be stronger,
particularly on a rocking boat with liquid sloshing back and forth within
it.

I wonder if the "barrel" is really a drum, installed on this particular boat
in honor of the "Drum of Drake" legend and boat name.

I have seen it on a few other boats and I have some overview plans of this
boat and it has the Barrel drawn on it. The plans have nothing to do with
the whole "Drum of Drake" thing. They are done buy a french designer
(Bombigher) and are for a style he calls the Shpountz. In the drawings,
there apears to be something coming out of the bottom of it, which is why I
thought propane housing, as well as something on the back side of it but I
can't tell for sure as they are not full plan sets. I don't want to bug the
designer about sommething so trivial but I'm just really curious.

The link to his site for the plans and this particular boat is:
http://www.classic-yacht-design.com/...-40/38-40.html

You can clearly see that it is in the drawings. on the deck.

Maybe the loose lashing is just some rope laid across it by some lazy sailor
that doesn't know how important stowing gear is.

Which means "barrel on a deck to make curious".


Those French people are really driving me crazy.

Ferrets. Ferrets in a barrel.

I have a friend who has a ferret. When he ran his 6 pac boat, stupid ferret
fell off a couple of times. Luckily no big striper swimming by at the
moment.
