Alex Maloney and Molly Meech won't be afraid to try different things when returning to racing over the next month in the hope it brings long-term success.
The Olympic 49erFX silver medallists will compete in their first major regatta since the Rio Games when they line up at next week's World Cup Final in Santander, Spain. They follow that with Kiel Week in Germany, where they will experiment with a handful of different scenarios as they look to turn silver into gold at Tokyo in 2020.
Maloney and Meech proved themselves as one of the world's best teams over the last Olympic cycle, winning the 2013 world title along with their silver medal in Rio, but also finished down the fleet too often for their liking.
"We want to become more consistent and perform at events we want to do well at," Maloney said. "It means we are going to try things at different regattas.
"At Santander, we want to put a really good event together. We are getting back into it after a long break and we want to see how we measure up against the other teams. We definitely want to win it.
