The Parker Hannifin Division that I retired from was making aircraft grade axial piston pumps for the last AC boats.  We provided electric motor pumps for the practice boats but the race boats are mechanically driven.  The hydraulics were for the foils and winches.  The grinders are actually driving the two speed pumps.a  I retired just before we delivered the race units.

The previous division that I worked for also made Electro Hydraulic Servo Valves (EHSV) for formula 1 race cars to control suspension and fuel delivery.

Interesting work but I still prefer the old 12 meters and actually having to sail the boat.

Have you folks checked out the AC75 design that will be used in the next Americas Cup. Monohull, twin port and stbd foils,self righting, soft sales and very fast. Think in days after we are all long gone these designs will be common place around yacht clubs. I would love to jump onboard one of these babies for an Afternoon sail
