The Wot rocket made it's first foiled run today, lifting and and accelerating fairly rapidly before the rudder casing broke........ Resulting in the boys returning to shore and the Wot Rocket returning to Noakes for repairs. Sean was pretty happy with the acceleration but disappointed with the breakage as the conditions were favourable for some high speed test runs.

Sean elected to run without the windshields on today because last time out they fogged up. The pod failed to lift of the water as Wot Rocket become foil born, resulting in it taking a lot of water. They are discussing putting a venturi into the base of the pod.

The boys say the boat should be at Noakes for another week, maybe 2 before they venture out for another run.
