What a strange thing to do. When we were long distance sailing we kept six fuel containers and two water containers tied off amidships off on deck.

I must be a nutter then that's what we bought. One of the reasons we bought it is if you go long distance sailing it is only a matter of time before you hit something or something hits you. We got hit three times by other boats when at anchor, the second time it was a heavy pirogue who hit us with his bow amidships at full speed, he couldn't get it out of get it out of gear but should have approached alongside. I got the touch up paint out but it would have holed a GRP boat.

One Q - Red or White?
That will open up a whole new can of worms!
Storing Diesel in cans is better than storing Petrol.

Thanks to all, but this is getting a bit like Chinese Whispers!
The vessel was most certainly not a Ketch anyway.
Besides, only an absolute fool would stow PETROL in cans below decks.
Having been born there, it's spelt Somerset (without the cider spelling)
Cheers.
