Which statement about RBSVP responsibilities is NOT correct?

• A. RBSVP serves to provide safety information, not enforcement or inspections.
• B. RBSVP volunteers conduct formal vessel safety inspections during visits.
• C. RBSVP is educational and does not enforce laws.
• D. RBSVP should log encounters according to policy.

Answer: (B)

RBSVP is about outreach and safety information during boating visits, not enforcement. Volunteers aim to educate boaters on safety practices, gear, and best practices, and to point them to official resources, rather than conducting formal checks or issuing enforcement actions. Formal vessel safety inspections are part of the Vessel Safety Check program, carried out by trained examiners, not by RBSVP volunteers. So the statement claiming that volunteers conduct formal inspections during visits isn’t accurate. The other points align with RBSVP’s role: it is educational and does not enforce laws, and encounters are logged according to policy to document outreach efforts.
