Khaleesi

 

Owned by Rob Aldis of Kayimai fame, Khaleesi remains at Middle Harbour Yacht Club where Aldis has sailed events such as the SSORC in which he finished third in Division 1 in 2020 and placed second in the Bird Island Race, beating all the top grand prix boats including Ichi Ban.  This is the former Shogun/Exile and was last owned by Andrew and Pauline Dally, who renamed the DK46 Khaleesi and placed 24th in the 2014 Rolex Sydney Hobart.  Raced again in 2017 and finished 48th before placing third in Division 2 of the 2019 Australian Yachting Championships in Melbourne.  In 2016 she scored a trio of IRC second places in the CYCA’s SOPS, MHYC’s IRC Open Point Score and Division 1 of the Sydney Harbour Regatta and placed 12th in the Pittwater Coffs race.  To be co-skippered by Aldis and Sandy Farquharson, Khaleesi is primed to do well.
