I believe the power is used to control the wing (sail) and the foils. These boats don’t have a keel and instead rely on foils that they drive into the water. I think they’re adjusted constantly as they fly and they swap from side to side as they tack.

Here’s a clip that gives a bit of an idea.

In the video someone else posted, it's said that the hydrofoils are independently powered https://youtu.be/Gvkx6oF_Zyk?si=PXTcckfCQzPZYmrR&t=660
