ACA RACER LIGHT
*** SAIL A DEMO BOAT AT ACA ISLAND ***
Sail boat based on America s Cup Class 5
Note LIGHT is based on ACA33 v3.0, so it comes with flat jib and main sails.
//////////////////////////////
A real, true blood ACA at such a small price is an irresistible bargain to start with.
ACA RACER LIGHT has automatic sails trim. Sailor will only have to raise sails,
steer the boat, lower sails. She has its own hull and sails textures, mostly based
on white, allowing sailor to change the prims colors, instead of whole textures,
easily getting a personalized boat. LIGHT comes with just the vertical HUD.
ACA RACER LIGHT contains a comprehensive subset of ACA RACER assets,
plus automatic sails trim, making it very pleasant and easy to sail even by those
who never stepped into a sailboat, in SL or RL.
For the experienced sailor, especially the ACA v3.0 user, ACA RACER LIGHT will
still offer the chance of relaxed cruises and whole new kinds of races,
among LIGHT boats or mixed fleets.

ACA RACER LIGHT vs. V3
(Q) What are the main differences between ACA RACER LIGHT and the full ACA RACER V3?
(A) The official ACA RACER, presently at version 3.1 is a racing boat, the Formula 1 boat
of its time, based on RL America s Cup Class 5. It delivers full control to skipper at helm
(and crew, if it is the case). Its modeling in SL has evolved a lot, simulating much of the
behavior of sailing such a boat in RL. The other side of the same coin is that it made it
difficult, or perhaps hard-working, to sail for the non experimented or the pleasant,
weekend sailor. Still, however, it is a really beautiful, realistic sailing boat,
which many want to try and own.
ACA RACER LIGHT, with simpler features and automatic sails trim, comes to fulfill that
desire to sail a true ACA but at leisure. It will allow for example nice landscape watching
while sailing. Keep an eye at rudder and relax about everything else.
No matter what, ACA RACER LIGHT is fine for cruises but can race against other LIGHTs
or in a mixed fleet with ACA v3. Note that events, cups and competitions for
ACA RACER v3 cannot be joined by the LIGHT and vice versa.
LIGHT is always identifiable and cannot be mistaken as a v3.
All in all, LIGHT was created over the ACA RACER v3 platform,
but thinking about the beginner, the sail for pleasure, and
still keeping the satisfaction even an experienced v3 sailor would search for.
(Q) What will LIGHT owners gain when they decide to buy the V3.1?
(A) Some features of the full ACA RACER v3.1 are not present in the LIGHT,
firstly because they can maybe never interest the leisure sailor. When
their owner feels like going to sail the real complete ACA RACER they will get:
- Sculpted, luffing, jib and main sail.
- Full control of every sail trim, also by the hands of crew members,
which is a prerequisite for real, official competition. Note that the
automatic sail trim is not, nor will ever be, present in the full ACA v3.
- The complete set of HUDs, including, besides the Vertical one, the
Horizontal HUD, allowing a different choice of on screen positioning,
and the Info HUD, competition model, low lag and crash resistant.
- Showsail function, allowing your ACA to show any or all sails raised,
as a model, while moored. Also, the full pack comes with a non scripted,
no lag model for exhibition purposes.
- Eject function, allowing skipper to eject by name or all at once the
(maybe undesired, boring :) crew or griefer, sitting at the boat.
- Ability to save, with boat, personal user settings for
wind, waves and current, which can be set for LIGHT
but will die at end of each sailing.

This a a great sailboat, goot details and design for a low prim boat plus it has modify permission. The hud has a speedometer and the display looks realistic. I dont think it will be easy to find better.
