I have been taking friends out sailing and many of them for the first time. Some get sick and others don't. So should I forewarn them ahead of going out sailing that they might feel sick but then have them thinking about getting sick before we actually go out or do I just say nothing and have them find out enroute.
I would ask them if they've ever been out on a boat, and if they have, whether or not seasickness was an issue. I'd also highly recommend you give them hints on how to avoid seasickness. Avoiding greasy foods and alcohol, getting a good night's sleep, staying well hydrated, dressing warmly, taking an antihistamine, etc, all help people from getting seasick.
These can make for a much nicer trip. Also, by doing so, you can find out whether they're allergic to any of the common remedies for seasickness—ginger-based cookies, candies and soda; dramamine, bonine, peppermint, etc.
Umm.. milk can make people sick... Peanut butter is kind of heavy, and a fair number of people are allergic to it...saltine crackers are good choice, as is the white bread—both are good at absorbing the acid in the stomach and settling it down.

Agree 100% with the last two. But the first two have worked for me for ages whenever the feeling comes--usually induced from a combo of not enough sleep prior to departure, copious amounts of imported beers and unidentified hor's douvres the night before and/or my arch nemisis, diesel exhaust fumes at the helm. Blechhh squared.......
Ask the folks when they first walked. If well under 10 months, they will most likely get sea sick. If you prepare ahead of time, like pills or the patch, you will nip the problem in the bud. I have a vast amount of "sea-sick" experience, if anyone needs it.
So if they walked before 10 months they are more prone to seasickness? I have never heard that one before. Is this from personal experience or from some study done because that is pretty neat.
I get the general impression that I should forewarn people beforehand. I guess that does make sense. I'm the sort of person who is likely to dwell on something like that and for me it might make it worse. I should maybe put some ginger tea into them before leaving the dock to be on the safe side.
Ah I see now. Not sure if walking early equates to good sense of balance. But I have to agree that a good sense of balance does seem to make people more prone. More sensitive inner ear. So perhaps I should just ask my friends if they are clumsy

Hmm,,,interesting. I am without doubt one of the clumsiest duffers I've ever met and I have a rotten sense of balance. Could never ride a surfboard or a skate, hopeless on a windsurfer and tend to end up in hospital when I get on any two wheeled machine.
Never been legitimately seasick.
Oh, and in case you are wondering I'm crap in a dinghy and would not make any claims for my overall sailing ability. It does not come naturally to me, I need to work at it all the time.
One of my best mates is the best windsurfer, roller blader , sailor in general that I know. He has superb balance. He cannot go out in anything approaching heavy weather. Crossing an ocean would be his worst nightmare. Technicolour nighmare at that . Go figure.
Ginger tablets onboard work fast (within 40 minutes) so keep them around. I've never encountered a person who is allergic to them and everyone (about 9 people that I can think of just on MY boat alone) says they work 100%.
They can even relieve active sea sickness if you have the person up in the cockpit where they can see the horizon and get fresh air (so the pills stay in).

Notes: (1) muscle that empties stomach actually blocks food, resulting in projectile vomiting. It's fatal if not corrected.
Human beings instinctively seek to remain upright by keeping their centre of gravity over their feet. The most important way this is achieved is by visual reference to surrounding objects, such as the horizon. Seasickness often results from the visual confusion on a moving craft.
Nobody has mentioned the accupressure wristbands. I've used them with good results on mild nausea.
As to questioning beforehand...how far in advance are you planning to bring this up (pun intended)? Asking about this just at boarding time might be a little late. A day or two in advance will give time to decide what to do.
I took a nephew out fishing. It was glassy calm but he puked repeatedly. But he refused to go in because he was having such a great time! And we only caught one fish.
