We did 10 in July, with two experienced and two familiar, and were able to get by with a quick briefing at the dock on crew safety and man overboard followed by briefings as we went. I checked all ropes/knots and the Admiral checked mine, as always.
Lesson learned: show rather than tell, repetition teaches. One of our mnemonics is "Leverick=Low" for setting fenders for the fuel dock. Putting a newbie on helm is safer than having them handle sails/winches.
Fun trip!
