Hi Tom, My boat does not have any sea cocks either. From what I understand, none of the boats cam with them. Some (especially those who race/sail offshore) have added them for safety's sake. If not, it is a good idea to carry a cork big anough to plug each through-hull if need be. If you're sailing only in the Bay I personally don't see a huge need for them, but then again you certainly can't go wrong by adding them!
