Wot Rocket test run - latest pix

'Lifting the Pod is proving to be a problem - Wot Rocket’s run up to official attempt on the 500m world speed sailing record.'    Sergio Dionisio/Wot Rocket    Click Here to view large photo

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.
