Instructors who used an individual boat should be checking all of these things for their boat; Instructors who are in charge of a class of multiple Rhodes should be checking that this has been done on all their boats; Instructors in charge of the dockwalk chore should look at each boat on the dock.

Rhodes

Each Rhodes should be checked over by its individual user, and all Rhodes should be checked by the dock walk staff

Powerboats

Powerboats that are being used for a program should only be derigged once all the boats under that program are off the water, docked, and derigged. (ie., for AP, there need to be powerboats rigged and ready to go on the dock at all times that boats are out on the water.)
