Australia's Wot Rocket team of Sean Langman and Martin 'Tacka'Thompson are still waiting for the right conditions on Sydney's Botany Bay to set the half sailboat, half sailplane loose.

Early trials have not provided enough breeze and this week the Wot Rocket team were blasted off the water as winds of 25-50 knots have hit Sydney.

Here are some more photos taken by photographer Sergio Dionisio.
