Skier Lindsey Vonn Goes Sailing With Oracle Team USA

“If I go on, I don’t want to just sit there.” Those were the words of skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn, who joined America’s Cup champion Oracle Team USA on board its foiling AC45 catamaran Thursday afternoon in New York. The the team held its final training session for the second stop of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series 2016.

Invited by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the skier took over the grinder position as the boat flew on the Hudson River in front of the Statue of Liberty. The AC45 catamaran can sail up to 41 knots, or 45 mph — faster than the speed limit on Manhattan streets.
