Free ACA32 Gestures by Cory
Users can get Cory’s ACA32 free gestures at Port AmericasCupAnywhere SIMs.
Just right click on the box and buy for L$0 lindens.
These gestures will speed your sail trimming and increase your sailing precision. Once you have confidence in using them, you will not need to use time consuming keyboard commands or the HUD.
Before you activate the gestures you must assign them to function keys. To assign a gesture to a function key, right click on it and select open. In the gesture window select a shortcut key which you want to use for that gesture.
To activate these gestures, right click on each gesture and click activate. Once active, your function keys F2 through F10 will send silent chat commands to your boat. I strongly suggest writing the list of gestures down on a piece of paper for quick reference while you are sailing. They will quickly become second nature.

Big Cat Racing
9th.com keeps its support to the sailing community by offering the racing waters of the AmericasCupAnywhere sims for the “Big Cat Racing”.
Hans is organising races for large catamarans such as the Zinnemann 40. The races will take place each Thursday with three races per day and eight days in a series. There are four series each year (“spring”, “summer”, “autumn” and “winter”). The winner of each series will receive the Big Cat Cup (as seen on the right) which will be theirs to keep as well as a Zinnemann Power boat.
The venues will alternate with each week between the scenic yet challenging open waters of Sailor’s Cove and the next in the closed off specialist racing waters of AmericasCupAnywhere.
