Tricks small ship sailors learn I suppose.

Not so much in my experience. The motion tends to be much quicker on
a smaller boat and it takes a great deal of effort just to move around
without getting tossed into something. I've been on several sailboats
where people got broken ribs from because they lost their grip and
were thrown across the cabin to the leeward side. It's not quite that
bad on a stabilized motor yacht but there is still a great deal of
quick motion. I usually try to brace myself into a corner and keep an
eye on the horizon. Anything that requires intense, near in
concentration, like navigation or replacing fuel filters, can be a
real stomach churner.

Small is a relative thing. We are talking about 3xx foot ships
