    Jo Aleh is pleased with her transition to sailing's 49er FX class but knows there's a lot of work to be done if she's to make it to the Paris Olympics

    Jo Aleh is pleased with her transition to sailing's 49er FX class but knows there's a lot of work to be done if she's to make it to the Paris Olympics


    The former Olympic 470 champion has teamed with Molly Meech this season and the pair are 10th with one day remaining at the world championships in Nova Scotia.

    Rivals Alex Maloney and Olivia Hobbs are eighth.

    Aleh says it's been a steep learning curve but they've already exceeded pre regatta expectations of a top 15 or top 20 result.
