I spent many years on draggers, and even with the birds down, the stabilizers set, these boats roll like a doggone barrel. I've seen many a man's bile, too sick to go down below, happier hunkered down by the winch, in the lee of the wind, waiting for yet another haul back. I'd say to these guys that the key in my opinion is to get your sea legs, and the only way to do this is to get sick, that you'll feel better the next trip. And generally they do. Ginger helps, fluids, staring at the horizon, stay away from the galley, get clear of the exhaust fumes, don't hang out in the engine room. Go down into the fish hold where the motion of the boat is the easiest to deal with--below the water line, mid-ships, nice and cold.
