Prior to the trip, I would ask potential crew (especially newbies or people who haven't overnighted it on a boat before) if they are prone to seasickness and if they are claustrophobic (even on a 45-50 ft yacht, the aft cabin roof may be only a foot above your face -- difficult for people who are suffer from claustrophobia). Its no fun to be on a boat with someone who doesn't want to be there or who is not having a good time.

Yes, seasickness, when under way for those prone to it I encourage them to stay on deck, standing if possible (and holding on), watching the horizon, steering if they're game, cuts way down on symptoms - balance and the level horizon seem to help a lot
