1.On Tuesday you went to the boat show. As we didn’t bring back a Sunseeker or a yacht, we would like you to imagine that you are a yacht or boat designer / builder and create a poster which will persuade us to buy your boat.

You may want to show us the hull, the luxurious interior., the controls or even all three. It will need to include a description full of persuasive language and labels . You will need a company name and of course the price.
