The boat needs hydraulic power to work, so instead of using winches like on « normal » boats, they peddle to build up hydraulic pressure that will then be used for the boat systems (lowering/raising the foils, moving the rudder and so on)
@@MrTchou So this boat technically can be piloted by a single person with lithium battery bank and electric hydro-pump. I would guess rules dictate man power only? BTW, thank you for answering my question.

Wow..slow progress..time to lay on the hull and hand paddle!
Deploy the oars!

Why are they constantly peddling?
