With Carmac VI, Cacique, Kalinga and New Horizon L all underway simultaneously, the yard at Kaag Island must have been a beehive of activity in the early 1980s. Cannes-based designer Pierre Tanter of Lavor Studio was the interior designer of both Kalinga and New Horizon L, imparting efficiency to the designer’s yard visits. At 50.65 metres, the six-stateroom tri-deck Kalinga was the largest launch of 1982. Her design was largely based on the first hull of Al Riyadh, ordered for King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Significant tankage gave her a range of 4,000nm at 15 knots.
