Nope, there are ultralight recumbents, and they can't go uphill too. It's because of weight distribution: you can't effectively shift your weight forward like on a normal bicycle (i.e. by shifting your hips to the handlebars and leaning over the front) If you'll try to lean forward your back will no longer be pressed against the seat and you will not be able to push pedals... It's simple really.

You're trying to simplify this quite a bit.. But the body weight of a standard cyclist would act to turn the pedals if he lets it simply "fall" and push the pedal. The recumbent would have no such aid, and would rely entirely on the strength of the user to do the work to get up the hill. Cyclists do not simply use their weight to turn the pedals, but going up a hill it is certainly advantageous to have that weight in line with the forces going through the pedals.

They lost also due to the less efficient hydrofoil concept. It is not that simple. To say for sure, they must have the same propellers, the same hydrofoils and the same floats and preferably the same test persons, only different seating position: then we can say for sure which position is superior. For now all i can say comes from bicycles: recumbents are not good for going up the slope, but are better at flatland, when compared to conventional seating position.

why lean forward? with a recumbent you are pressing against a backrest and can generate a force greater than your body weight like leg pressing. But I see your point about weight distribution
