“We use an advanced control system that stabilizes the naturally unstable boat in just about any condition. Sensors around the perimeter of our boats measure wave height and feed this information to our Flight Controller. Height, roll and pitch data are as well. The Flight Controller is then able to adjust the position at up to 100 times per second, in order to achieve stability.”
That’s from Candela’a own webpage, and the following older article mentions:
“Many of them have worked at aerospace and technology companies such as Eurocopter, Saab Gripen, and Volvo.”

I think Candela is basically what happens when you take Swedish engineering tradition, combine it with skills attained from building advanced fighter jets and the challenge of making electric boats have a reasonable range at all.
Some added bonuses you get: Barely any wake, so you can run fast without disrupting others or the wildlife / nature.
