here's an idea for how to approach this project --
first, decide what data items you're going to store in the database -- boat name, owner name, boat location, etc.
second, allocate the data items to tables, taking into account the rules for normalization up to at least 3NF
then, write some application code that will insert, update, and delete the data in your tables
finally, write one or more queries that will pull information out of the tables and present it meaningfully to users
simple, innit
