Nah, When the crew screws up like in that video you really don't need a sock and it's always tangled lines out of control too. No time to be on the foredeck either.

It's common knowledge that on almost a daily basis the winds go nuclear after rounding Watts Pt.(in background),why they didn't douse sooner is beyond me.
