Springs and levers convert the up and down into side to side motion, which propels the boat.
Jeff's comments on wave length aside, why has someone with NA or PHd after their name not converted a simple float and bar hanging over the side - the bar could have a plunger to serve as a pump, and then use hydraulic pressure via a hose to pump a watermaker, generator etc?
Because wave power is essentially a derivative of solar and wind power, and as a derivative it is therefore less efficient than the source?
