ToDo (the original list)

This is the original list of tasks I was working off to get the boat ready for club racing and the annual Rottnest Race (D'Arcy). It worked for getting the boat to a minimal standard to use for those things but it's not enough to act as a project plan to complete all the things I want to do to it.

I've since read the awesome book This Old Boat by Don Casey which has a much more organised way of compiling and organising a proper project plan from a list like this. I'll be following the method he explains to create a more methodical project plan.
