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
