Heading for 50 knots Wot Rocket pictures

'Another fish-eye lens view of Wot Rocket.'    Christophe Launay ©

Australia's Sean Langman, Martin Thompson and the Wot Rocket team are preparing the half sail boat, half sail plane for their first sea trials in Sydney this week. Their aim is the 50 knots 500 metre speed barrier.

Photographer Christophe Launay was beachside on Botany Bay with his fish-eye lens. You can be sure that those curved surfaces are dead straight.
