If you are between Denmark and Stralsund, you really don't want to have water enter the boat.
But the sock is the second line of defense, this one is the first, most have seen something like it.
Not sure what it's called in english, cagdeck or spray cover? Here it's a Spritzschutzdecke.
Anyway, none of this matters if you are a sweet/calm water captain.
