SailGP and US Olympic sailor Anna Weis is transforming the image of professional sailing.
Weis is leading a new generation of women sailors challenging preconceived notions of female athleticism.
With speeds of more than 60 miles per hour, the league is gaining a reputation as 'Formula 1 on the water.'
No one was hurt, but the crash was a stark reminder of the high-adrenaline, high-stakes of the sport she has chosen.
Vonn's experience competing at the highest level of a sport coupled with her perspective as a female athlete is an invaluable asset to the team, Weis says.
