As mentioned as a goof, the Barracuda's hands are tied, yes, but then the red jacket is just draped over him. (Likely to hide that he's tied up from other people/tavern goers in the area.) When the scene cuts back to him, he's struggling to get free of his fetters.
The Jacket could have easily fallen off him as he struggled. I'm color blind, but there looks to be two objects on the bridge next to him, one that looks like a jacket crumpled behind him to the far left.
It does look, however, that his right hand comes free when he's standing on the bridge--whoops!--then it looks like he shoves it back again.
Anyway, so I wouldn't say goof. At best, we just didn't see the jacket fall off. Apart from that, my only comment is that this film is okay. Not Maureen O'Hara's best work, sure, and not even her best pirate movie (watch Against All Flags instead), but it's enjoyable and worth a look.
