Last April 1st we kind of played an April fools joke on you all by advertising a line of the most preposterous line up of new ACA products… Well this fooled some of you, but the sharp eyed amongst you spotted that we weren’t really going to start selling ACA Landing craft of submarines..
Well.. ummm yes.. we kind of fooled ourselves too.. two of the items we suggested were going to be made available were a mini and a micro version of the ACA… Three months later and ACA Proudly present!!!! The ACA Tiny and the ACA Micro!! ain’t life funny?
The ACA Tiny
The ACA Tiny is made for all you tiny furry things! Made with the same scripts (just a little slower in speed) this boat is perfect for cruising and racing in tiny bodies!!
ACA Micro
This I think is going to be a revolution in sailing…. This micro sized ACA is perfect for one sim sailing courses, you can find them at such great clubs as Hollywoood Model Yacht Club. No sim crossing equal NO LAG!!! woot!!! You will need to provide your own micro avatar but really this could be the future of SL sailing.
ACA 3.1!!
After a year sailing the 3.0 it was time for an update to the boat.. with sexily curvy sails the craft now looks new. the scripts have been tweaked and the windshadows have been amended. This will be a free update. We intend to start distributing the boat after the finals of the ACA Trophy!
Big Big News!!
Want a sneak peak?? want to own one before the crowd??? Well heck you can!!! ACA in conjunction with the Sail For Life/Relay For Life weekend are giving you the opportunity to own a Micro Tiny or indeed the updated 3.1 at least a week before any of them are officially released!! Yup.. you will even get the 3.1 before me!!!
As always ACA are proud to be working together with SFL/RFL to find a cure for cancer. Its your weekend to make a difference.. I make no apologies for saying this, but, boney makes that difference!
We are auctioning off the Micro, the Tiny and the 3.1 off to the highest bidders. We are also selling off the SFL ACA Sails. Bidding or buying the sails will give out a strong signal and sign to the world that you care. Come down with deep pockets and spend freely.. a Fun weekend on the water is guaranteed! Fun starts Saturday and goes through to Sunday 1pm here is the landmark. There is loads to see and lots to bid on so make your way down and enjoy. If your pockets aren’t that deep don’t worry there will be fun and low cost fun. We look forward to see you there!
Our first ACA TINY owner (TY BeeJee) , has brought the first Q&A 🙂
[06:40] BeeJee Boucher: cool i read on the website you made a bit slower than the big one so i cant race biggie boats ??
[06:47] Caf Binder: Yes… The way it appeared in that article seemed they were just made “a bit slower”… In fact, howerver, ACA Micro, Tiny and the RC (if / when it comes) all them have been reengineered and not only boat speeds, but all behavior, were reviewed to be realistic for each size. Try and sail in mouse view to feel it. The other side of coin is, yes… as in RL, way too different sized boats cant really compete to each other. 🙂
[06:47] Caf Binder: I ll publish this there, for it may be a doubt to more people.
A micro and a tiny? Less lag and better crossings sounds great, but how about a mini as in “the smallest possible single seater for normal shaped people? See my blog for inspiration – I’ve just sailed a mini12, – aka INternational 2.4 meter. The ACA Micro seems to be the rigth size, so maybe it is only a matter of fitting an avatar into it, – sitting as in a classic kayak… Just an idea 🙂
