New 49er Olympic pair Will McKenzie and Isaac McHardie will lean on the advice of double medallist Jo Aleh as they enter their maiden Games in Paris

McKenzie and McHardie fill the gold and double silver medal void created by New Zealand greats Peter Burling and Blair Tuke.

Aleh's been selected for her fourth Games, alongside Molly Meech, in the 49erFX class.

McKenzie says their friendship with Aleh will come in handy.



McKenzie and McHardie head to the south of France next weekend for a couple of regattas.
