Are they trying to to use it as a self righting device for if it goes over ?

If it's just empty space would it be enough to right the boat

It's a storage box rather than self righting one. Good idea though; cheap self righting bag - just attach a big plastic barel or something.

Also appears to have been moored in area that dries, you'd think they'd have checked the chart.

huh, looks like the first wave it hits will rip those tubes clean off. So as you spear towards Davie Jonses locker, the grit bit comes into effect causing massive drag and 'bingo' you pop up again, that surely must be what its for, a drogue grit bin
