  1. Colour in the sail (top) and the hull with the portholes (bottom).
  2. Cut out the square along the dashed line.
  3. Fold the square in half along the long dotted line: the bottom half goes to the back, the sail stays at the front.
  4. Fold the bottom edge forwards and up along the short dotted line: now you can see the hull with the portholes.
  5. Stand your boat up or sail it in your imagination!
