Smooth water ahead for Paul’s passion<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

THREE YEARS ago, retired<br />

cabinet-maker Paul Clearwater,<br />

then 66-years-old, did<br />

something he’d never done<br />

before. He started building a sixmetre<br />

boat, on his property.<br />

It was no ordinary boat.<br />

The plans were for a hull that<br />

came with a warning, using<br />

techniques any inexperienced<br />

boat builder should have<br />

thought twice about.<br />

That didn’t deter Clearwater<br />

and, on Friday, the craft was<br />

launched at Lyttelton with<br />

friends around to congratulate<br />

him.<br />

Distinctive<br />

pink<br />

building<br />

to be<br />

demolished<br />

• By Tony Simons<br />

A SUMNER landmark building<br />

on Marriner St that was, for most<br />

of its life, known as Sunleigh Flats,<br />

is to be demolished to make way<br />

for apartments designed by an<br />

architect who was a student at<br />

the Prince of Wales’ Institute of<br />

Architecture in London.<br />

The new owner of the distinctive<br />

pink building on the corner<br />

of Burgess and Marriner St is<br />

local developer, Brooksfield. It has<br />

employed London-based architect<br />

Ben Pentreath to design the<br />

building.<br />

Pentreath is perhaps best known<br />

for his involvement in designing<br />

Poundbury, the Duchy of Cornwall’s<br />

experimental planned<br />

community development on the<br />

outskirts of Dorchester. That development<br />

was endorsed by King<br />

Charles III when he was Prince of<br />

Wales and Duke of Cornwall, and<br />

many regarded it as the prince’s<br />

pet project.<br />

Sunleigh Flats was a private<br />

hotel, then a children’s home for<br />

a short time, before being turned<br />

into flats. It then hosted Ali Barbers<br />

Hair Stylists, but has sat idle<br />

since the earthquakes. It is about<br />

100-years-old.<br />

Apprentice baker’s swift rise to the top<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

EMILY BAILLIE was in the<br />

third year of her apprenticeship<br />

when she rose to become the<br />

best young bread baker in the<br />

country.<br />

The 20-year-old, who works at<br />

the Bohemian Bakery in Sumner,<br />

said she never expected to win<br />

the New Zealand Association of<br />

Bakers competition.<br />

“I was in shock. I was the<br />

youngest competitor with the<br />

least experience and I thought<br />

my competitors would win it. I<br />

actually almost cried.”<br />

Besides the title, Baillie was<br />

also awarded a $10,000 research<br />

grant.<br />

This year, there were four<br />

craft bakers and two plant bread<br />

bakers taking part in the twoday<br />

competition in Auckland,<br />

which included a presentation on<br />

a given topic, a 90-minute theory<br />

test and a five-hour baking<br />

session.<br />

Each participant was required<br />

to make a range of breads,<br />

including two loaves of white<br />

sandwich bread, two different<br />

types of white loaves, four<br />

different types of smallgoods,<br />

two variety loaves of grain or<br />

wholemeal bread, and four<br />

different types of sweet bun.<br />

Baillie said recipes for the<br />

breads were given two months<br />

before the competition so<br />

participants could memorise and<br />

use them on the day.<br />

However, there were many<br />

things that could affect the result<br />

of the breads, in spite of having<br />

the same recipe.<br />

“My competitor had the same<br />

recipe, but she didn’t know them.<br />

So in one of the breads, it was<br />

supposed to be 1.5 per cent salt<br />

but she put 1 per cent salt. Little<br />

things like that can really affect<br />

the bread and how it works,”<br />

Baillie said.<br />

“It’s also personal skills like<br />

how you shaped it, how you mix<br />

it, how long you let it rest for – all<br />

sorts of different things.”<br />

The young baker is now<br />

planning to represent New<br />

Zealand at the prestigious LA<br />

Judge Awards in 2024 – a threeday<br />

competition recognising the<br />

best young baking apprentices in<br />

baking in a one-year cooking<br />

course, which then led to an<br />

apprenticeship with a bakery in<br />

Hokitika in her final year of<br />

high school.<br />

Six months later, she moved<br />

to Christchurch to broaden her<br />

horizons. Since then, Baillie has<br />

been working at the bakery.<br />

So far, the unusual working<br />

hours have been the biggest<br />

challenge.<br />

“It’s not normal to wake up<br />

and get to work at 1am. It’s<br />

definitely a challenge to change<br />

your body clock completely and<br />

working at a completely different<br />

time to everybody around you.<br />

“It’s a bit hard to have any type<br />

of social life,” she said.<br />

The $10,000 award will go towards<br />

a baking course overseas.<br />

However, Baillie has not decided<br />

where to go yet.<br />

At the moment, she is looking<br />

to specialise in pastry after<br />

completing her qualification in<br />

baking.

The Axeman’s Carnival<br />

by Catherine Chidgey<br />

Everywhere, the birds: sparrows and skylarks and thrushes, starlings and bellbirds, fantails and<br />

pipits – but above them all and louder, the magpies. We are here and this is our tree and we’re<br />

staying and it is ours and you need to leave and now. Tama is just a helpless chick when he<br />

is rescued by Marnie, and this is where his story might have ended. ‘If it keeps me awake,’<br />

says Marnie’s husband Rob, a farmer, ‘I’ll have to wring its neck.’ But with Tama come new<br />

possibilities for the couple’s future. Tama can speak, and his fame is growing. Outside, in the<br />

pines, his father warns him of the wickedness wrought by humans. Indoors, Marnie confides<br />

in him about her violent marriage. The more Tama sees, the more the animal and the human<br />

worlds – and all of the precarity, darkness and hope within them – bleed into one another. Like a<br />

stock truck filled with live cargo, the story moves inexorably towards its dramatic conclusion: the<br />

annual Axeman’s Carnival. Part trickster, part surrogate child, part witness, Tama the magpie is<br />

the star of this story. Though what he says aloud to humans is often nonsensical (and hilarious<br />

with it), the tale he tells us weaves a disturbingly human sense. The Axeman’s Carnival is<br />

Catherine Chidgey at her finest – comic, profound, poetic and true.<br />

Overreach<br />

The Inside Story of Putin’s War Against Ukraine<br />

by Owen Matthews<br />

An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the<br />

Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol.<br />

The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and<br />

yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating,<br />

subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of<br />

destruction. Why?<br />

Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family<br />

ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots<br />

of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia<br />

about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected<br />

war hero Volodimir Zelensky.<br />

With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked<br />

Europe to its core.<br />

Dawnlands<br />

by Philippa Gregory<br />

The new historical novel from Philippa Gregory, the Number One bestselling author of Tidelands<br />

and Dark Tides. The spellbinding Fairmile series continues as the fiercely independent Alinor and<br />

her family find themselves entangled in palace intrigue, political upheaval, and life-changing<br />

secrets in seventeenth-century England. It is 1685, England is on the brink of a renewed civil war<br />

against the Stuart kings and many families are bitterly divided. Ned Ferryman cannot persuade his<br />

sister Alinor that he is right to return from America with his Pokanoket servant Rowan to join the<br />

rebel army. Instead, Alinor has been coaxed by the manipulative Livia to save the queen from the<br />

coming siege. The rewards are life-changing: the family could return to their beloved Tidelands,<br />

and Alinor could rule where she was once lower than a servant. Alinor’s son, Rob, is determined<br />

to stay clear of the war, but when he and his nephew set out to free Ned from execution for treason<br />

and Rowan from a convict deportation to Barbados, they find themselves enmeshed in the creation<br />

of an imposter Prince of Wales - a surrogate baby to the queen. From the last battle in the desolate<br />

Somerset Levels to the hidden caves on the slave island of Barbados, this third volume of an epic<br />

story follows a family from one end of the empire to another, to find a new dawn in a world which<br />

is opening up before them with greater rewards and dangers than ever before.<br />

Spies and Lies<br />

How China’s Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the<br />

World By Alex Joske<br />

A groundbreaking exposé of elite influence operations by China’s little-known Ministry of State<br />

Security. Revealing for the first time how the Chinese Communist Party has tasked its spies to<br />

deceive the world, it challenges the conventional account of China’s past, present and future.<br />

Mere years ago, Western governments chose to cooperate with China in the hope that it would<br />

liberalise, setting aside concerns about human rights abuses, totalitarian ambitions and espionage.<br />

But the axiom of China’s ‘peaceful rise’ has been fundamentally challenged by the Chinese<br />

Communist Party’s authoritarian behaviour under Xi Jinping...How did we get it wrong for so long?<br />

Spies and Lies pierces the Ministry of State Security’s walls of secrecy and reveals how agents of<br />

the Chinese Communist Party have spent decades manipulating the West’s attitudes – from an<br />

Australian prime minister to the US Congress, prominent think tanks and the FBI – about China’s<br />

rise. An extraordinary insight into the most successful influence operation in history – one which<br />

has fooled the West for years – and is indispensable reading.<br />

Irresistible challenge a labour of love<br />

• From page 1<br />

“The hull is kind of like clinker-built<br />

in reverse,” he said. It’s<br />

supposed to allow the boat to<br />

travel more easily through the<br />

water, “kind of like hydroplaning.<br />

The challenge of building<br />

it was something I could not<br />

resist”.<br />

The craft is built completely<br />

of wood, using timber milled<br />

from his own property where<br />

he has lived since he was 12<br />

years old. It also showcases<br />

wood from all around the<br />

world, and no plywood. “The<br />

variety of wood I’ve used is<br />

what makes the boat so special,”<br />

Clearwater said.<br />

“After retiring, I wasn’t simply<br />

going to sit inside the house all<br />

day, so I took on the challenge.<br />

A few hours a day with plenty of<br />

time in between to think about<br />

how I was going to tackle the<br />

next part,” he said.<br />

The project cost him the tips<br />

of two fingers in a workshop<br />

accident, but he has no regrets.<br />

It’s been a labour of love and<br />

appropriately, he has named the<br />

boat Passion.<br />

For timber aficionados, the<br />

streamlined hull is alaskan cedar<br />

on a canadian oregan frame.<br />

The decking is african iroko, a<br />

greasy timber used a lot in boat<br />

building.<br />

“It’s poor man’s teak,”<br />

Clearwater said.<br />

PROJECT: Paul Clearwater takes a supporter for a cruise<br />

towards Governors <strong>Bay</strong>. Right: The wooden hull of Passion<br />

in the building phase.<br />

The structure also includes<br />

american oak, the framing in<br />

the cabin is eucalyptus nitens<br />

(grown on his property) and the<br />

outside and floor of the cabin is<br />

kauri.<br />

Inside features cypress, the<br />

window frames are robinia, and<br />

there are mahogany trimmings<br />

all around.<br />

To top it off, the boat’s wheel<br />

is american walnut with sweet<br />

chestnut spokes.<br />

Passion was launched without<br />

a hitch with about a dozen bystanders<br />

applauding as Clearwater<br />

headed off towards Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> with a couple of close mates<br />

on board and, after he returned,<br />

he took more friends out for<br />

five-minute cruises.<br />

Clearwater said he was never<br />

worried.<br />

“It’s been well-built and<br />

well-tested,” he said.<br />

Clearwater built a dinghy<br />

once, but never anything like<br />

this. As far as his next challenge<br />

is concerned? No, this will be it,<br />

he said.<br />

“My next goal is simply to<br />

enjoy what I’ve built.”<br />

Alcohol ban<br />

submissions<br />

close in<br />

one week<br />

WOOLSTON residents have<br />

seven days left to submit their<br />

opinions on a temporary alcohol<br />

ban in the area.<br />

A public consultation to<br />

determine whether residents,<br />

businesses and community<br />

groups support the proposal<br />

of implementing a six-month<br />

temporary ban in the Woolston<br />

Village area will close on<br />

December 7.<br />

The decision on the ban is likely<br />

to be made in the middle of the<br />

month.<br />

The ban prohibits public<br />

drinking or anyone carrying open<br />

alcohol containers in public places<br />

within the specified ban area.<br />

The proposed area includes<br />

Hargood St, Glenroy St, St Johns<br />

St, Ferry Rd, Rutherford St, along<br />

the Heathcote River, Cumnor<br />

Tce, Riley Cres, Laura Kent Park<br />

walkway along the Heathcote<br />

River and back to Hargood St.<br />

If there is sufficient evidence to<br />

support a ban, city council staff<br />

will write a report recommending<br />

the council brings in a temporary<br />

ban.<br />

NEW DEVELOPMENT: The landmark Sunleigh Flats/Ali Barber building in Sumner<br />

will make way for a complex designed by London-based architect Ben Pentreath<br />

who was involved in King Charles III’s pet project Pounbury (below).<br />

‘We’re very excited, we<br />

want to do Sumner proud’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Brooksfield typically builds a<br />

mix of character and modern.<br />

Its website states too many<br />

people settle for a home that<br />

is generic, when the decisions<br />

we make today will help shape<br />

Christchurch for the next 100<br />

years.<br />

“We really like buying corner<br />

sites where we can make the<br />

biggest, positive impact”,<br />

Brooksfield director Vincent<br />

Holloway said.<br />

Given its prime position, this<br />

site has to be the most noticed in<br />

the Sumner village, he said.<br />

“We’re very excited about this<br />

one, [and] we want to do Sumner<br />

proud.”<br />

The new complex will front<br />

onto both Marriner and Burgess<br />

Sts and will include garaging and<br />

ground level commercial space.<br />

It’s the second time the<br />

property has sold this year. The<br />

previous owner bought it in April<br />

but “had a change in direction,”<br />

according to Colliers consultant,<br />

Courtney Doig who marketed<br />

the property.<br />

ENJOYMENT: Primary school pupils at Club Redcliffs<br />

after experiencing bowling.<br />

Successful programme<br />

for young bowlers<br />

Denise Morland reports<br />

on Club Redcliffs’ Kiwi<br />

Bowls programme with<br />

Mt Pleasant and Redcliffs<br />

Schools<br />

WITH THE assistance of Bowls<br />

Canterbury, Club Redcliffs<br />

conducted a comprehensive<br />

Kiwi Bowls programme from<br />

September to <strong>November</strong> with<br />

approximately 200 year 5-8<br />

pupils from Redcliffs School<br />

and Mt Pleasant School taking<br />

part at the club to experience<br />

bowling.<br />

The programme culminated<br />

in two bowling tournaments<br />

after school on <strong>November</strong> 9<br />

and 16 with a total of 48 bowlers<br />

making 16 triples teams.<br />

A prize-giving and sausage<br />

sizzle was held on the final day.<br />

The young bowlers were<br />

enthusiastic, supportive and<br />

showed great promise.<br />

The club has had excellent<br />

feedback from the schools about<br />

how much the young bowlers<br />

enjoyed themselves.<br />

The club could not have run<br />

this successful programme<br />

without the support of a great<br />

number of members and it<br />

will continue to support and<br />

encourage school pupils to<br />

participate.<br />

Treasures from the Past:<br />

Sweeping mines<br />

SOMETIME IN the dark hours<br />

of June 13 and 14, 1940, on the<br />

day the Nazi Wehrmacht would<br />

triumphantly enter the city of<br />

Paris, France, the Kriegsmarine<br />

auxiliary cruiser HKS Orion<br />

sailed into Auckland’s Hauraki<br />

Gulf cunningly disguised as a<br />

merchant ship, and quietly laid<br />

228 naval contact mines.<br />

Five days later, the Union Steam<br />

Ship Company’s 13,415 ton trans-<br />

Pacific liner RMS Niagara struck<br />

two of these mines off the Whangarei<br />

Heads and promptly sank by<br />

the bow with the tragic loss of the<br />

ship’s cat Aussie who failed to join<br />

the 349 crew and passengers in<br />

one of 18 lifeboats.<br />

And so it was that the World<br />

War 2 explosively arrived in New<br />

Zealand waters.<br />

Facing the prospect of deadly<br />

mines blockading the entire<br />

island nation, the wartime Labour<br />

Government of Prime Minister<br />

Peter Fraser swung into action,<br />

commissioning a fleet of minesweepers<br />

to keep New Zealand<br />

ports open. Based on a Royal<br />

Navy coal-fired trawler design<br />

from World War 1, the Castleclass<br />

minesweepers proved quick<br />

to build in shipyards around<br />

the country. The 13th and very<br />

last of her class to be laid out,<br />

The minesweeper HMNZS Waiho in the Hauraki Gulf 1944-<br />

46, and with a catch of fish after a depth charge.<br />

the HMNZS Waiho was built by<br />

Stevenson & Cook Engineering<br />

in Port Chalmers and launched<br />

on February 19, 1944. At 447 tons<br />

she was powered by a coal-fired,<br />

single shaft reciprocating engine<br />

delivering 480 IHP for a maximum<br />

speed of 10.5 knots.<br />

With a complement of 27 crew<br />

members she was armed with a<br />

single 12-pounder naval gun, 20<br />

depth charges and ASDIC sonar<br />

for anti-submarine operations.<br />

Her minesweeping equipment<br />

consisted of 1km long trailing<br />

cables for hooking mines, and<br />

dan marker buoys for marking<br />

cleared waters.<br />

Named after the Waiho<br />

(Waiau) glacier-fed river<br />

that starts at the terminus of<br />

the Franz Josef Glacier, she<br />

entered service with the 194th<br />

Auxiliary Minesweeping Group<br />

at Auckland on June 29, 1944,<br />

taking part in daily mine sweeps<br />

of Waitemata <strong>Harbour</strong>. A year<br />

later in June 1945, with the war<br />

against Imperial Japanese forces<br />

still raging in the Pacific theatre,<br />

the Waiho sailed for Lyttelton to<br />

search for and clear the harbour<br />

of any mines.<br />

While deployed, apart from<br />

the minesweeping patrols, she<br />

conducted gunnery and anti-submarine<br />

drills, including the use of<br />

depth charges that evidently also<br />

delivered a bountiful by-catch of<br />

what appear to be hāpuku groper<br />

(please note that Te Ūaka The<br />

Lyttelton Museum does not condone<br />

the illegal practice of blast<br />

fishing).<br />

After ensuring that Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> was free of Nazi mines,<br />

the Waiho returned to Auckland<br />

on September 4, 1945, just two<br />

days after the Japanese formal<br />

Red Funnel Trawlers Pty Ltd of<br />

Sydney in May 1946, renamed the<br />

Matong, and began her presumably<br />

non-explosive fishing career<br />

After 10 more gainful years at<br />

sea she was laid up in December<br />

1958 and finally scrapped in<br />

Singapore in 1964, although her<br />

hull’s double bottom apparently<br />

lived on as a pontoon.<br />

Start a new<br />

Christmas tradition<br />

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories<br />

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.<br />

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year<br />

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of<br />

your favourite carols and songs – play it<br />

loud and every day, if that’s your thing.<br />

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along<br />

evening – don’t forget to supply the song<br />

sheet so everyone can join in too.<br />

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting<br />

together with family or friends to help<br />

decorate each other’s houses – turn up<br />

the music, drink the wine and go all out<br />

to deck the halls.<br />

3. Make and send homemade Christmas<br />

cards – there’s nothing more exciting<br />

than getting mail, right? Or how about<br />

writing some generic ones and dropping<br />

them into your nearest retirement<br />

home to brighten up an elderly person’s<br />

Christmas.<br />

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or<br />

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t<br />

forget to take a family selfie.<br />

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap<br />

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest<br />

community gift tree – check with your<br />

local library and label with age and<br />

gender.<br />

One piece is never enough!<br />

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour<br />

outdoor games night with drinks and<br />

nibbles leading up to the big day – think<br />

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,<br />

or croquet.<br />

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional<br />

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,<br />

and give a book as a gift on Christmas<br />

Eve each year – don’t forget to write<br />

inside the cover who it’s from and the<br />

date.<br />

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies<br />

to watch a week before Christmas day<br />

and tick off the ones you’ve watched.<br />

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot<br />

chocolate or nibbles and wine.<br />

9. Make and give a handmade ornament<br />

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s<br />

Christmas tree will be covered with<br />

beautiful, handmade memories.<br />

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on<br />

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning<br />

to drink while the presents are being<br />

opened – decorate with whipped cream,<br />

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or<br />

crushed candy canes.<br />

Sheltered from the easterly, basking in late<br />

day sunshine, and enjoying enviable views<br />

over Heathcote Valley to the city, over the<br />

estuary and out to the Southern Alps, this<br />

two-bedroom property on the mid slopes<br />

of Mt Pleasant presents an exceptional<br />

opportunity in a stunning location.<br />

The main level hosts a contemporary and<br />

generous kitchen with a gas hob, ample<br />

bench space, and a beautiful outlook of the<br />

surrounding hills. An open-plan living and<br />

dining area with a heat pump benefits from<br />

dual bifold doors that can be thrown open to<br />

the north-west facing deck; soak up the sun<br />

and watch as the tendrils of light slowly shift<br />

from amber to darkness that allows the city<br />

lights below to glitter like fireflies.<br />

Accommodation is on the upper level,<br />

AUCTION<br />

LISTING<br />

with two well-proportioned bedrooms<br />

offering sweeping views from Castle Rock to<br />

the estuary and beyond, plus a balcony for<br />

the master with sea view and Pegasus <strong>Bay</strong><br />

outlook. The lower level original garage is<br />

currently used as a third bedroom and would<br />

make an ideal home office or studio.<br />

Constructed from solid concrete block<br />

permanent materials as well as cedar<br />

and kwila, and with a modern extension,<br />

refurbished kitchen and bathroom already<br />

complete, the home is a wonderful blank<br />

canvas that is eminently liveable, yet also<br />

offers outstanding potential for visionaries<br />

to further enhance the property and create<br />

a fully refreshed dream. Nice flat access,<br />

spectacular elevation and a brilliant location<br />

all make this an ideal home for couples,<br />

small families, or investors looking to add<br />

value.<br />

Mt Pleasant has an exceptional local<br />

school within walking distance, and the<br />

home is conveniently located to take<br />

advantage of the local farmer’s market, the<br />

amenities of Ferrymead, and the glorious<br />

nature of seaside living. You could be in for<br />

Skoda SUV packs powerful punch<br />

THERE OFTEN comes a point<br />

in time when you know the mode<br />

of transport you have isn’t fit for<br />

purpose.<br />

That happened to my wife and<br />

I just recently as our old sedan<br />

made way for a sport utility vehicle.<br />

The latter providing us with the<br />

entry and egress comfort we need<br />

as our hips give way to old age,<br />

notwithstanding modern engines<br />

are far more fuel efficient than our<br />

car that was designed over 20 years<br />

ago.<br />

Of course, being the petrolhead<br />

I am, I would have liked to<br />

have purchased something with<br />

a bit more punch from under the<br />

bonnet, but in terms of cost I had<br />

to be realistic about that.<br />

Had funds been available, we<br />

may well have purchased a Skoda<br />

Kodiaq – the RS version. It has<br />

all of the comfort ingredients we<br />

were looking for in an SUV, but<br />

under the bonnet sits the 2-litre<br />

turbocharged engine that has<br />

found its way through a raft of<br />

Skoda, Seat, Cupra and Volkswagen<br />

product, notably the VW Golf GTi.<br />

The Kodaiq RS isn’t quite as<br />

gutsy as Volkswagen’s Tiguan R,<br />

but it does have much the same<br />

engine, albeit with lower power<br />

outputs. Saying that, at 180kW and<br />

370Nm the Kodiaq RS does have<br />

48kW and 50Nm greater than the<br />

2-litre TSi version I evaluated in<br />

these columns in August.<br />

The Kodiaq RS also benefits<br />

from a recent facelift amongst the<br />

six-variant series, it also gets a high<br />

fitment package that extends to<br />

satellite navigation, paddle-shifters,<br />

panoramic sunroof, keyless<br />

entry and ignition, electric seat<br />

adjustment, seat heaters and a host<br />

of other minor features.<br />

Skoda’s marketing slogan is<br />

‘simply clever,’ and over the years<br />

I’ve mentioned many times the little<br />

niceties that make the brand stand<br />

out from others. In the Kodaiq RS<br />

it was the plastic wheel trims that<br />

sit inside the actual alloy wheel<br />

itself, they can be removed to give<br />

the vehicle a completely different<br />

look. It’s the first time I’ve seen that<br />

arrangement and, yes, it is clever.<br />

Those features don’t come at<br />

a huge cost; sure, at $79,990 the<br />

range-topping RS will stretch some<br />

buyers’ budgets, but the entire<br />

Kodiaq range is there to lure buyers<br />

who want quality product at an<br />

affordable price. The entry level<br />

model lists at $48,990, while those<br />

in the medium grades sit in the<br />

$60,000 bracket.<br />

Of course, all models have the<br />

benefit of space, that is the way<br />

it is with the modern SUV, and<br />

the Kodiaq RS is no exception,<br />

there’s even seven seats, although<br />

the two rear seats that fold up out<br />

of the cargo section are really just<br />

for children or those very slight of<br />

build.<br />

CLEVER: The plastic wheel inserts can be removed to offer<br />

a different look.<br />

SKODA KODIAQ RS: High performance from Volkswagen Golf GTi engine.<br />

As with all VW Group models<br />

the Kodiaq RS is quality-built<br />

and comfortable, there is space to<br />

spread out in, and the remaining<br />

seats are beautifully formed so that<br />

fatigue on a long journey is kept to<br />

a minimum.<br />

I took the test car on a long<br />

inland journey through to the<br />

Malvern Hills and it felt just so<br />

balanced and controlled on that<br />

journey, the hills and bends were<br />

simply swallowed up with ease.<br />

A lot of that has to do with the<br />

way the suspension has been set up.<br />

Of course, drive is sent to all four<br />

wheels which means there’s a fully<br />

independent system underneath.<br />

The spring and damper rates<br />

are firmed slightly, but there is<br />

compliance within that so occupant<br />

comfort isn’t jeopardised.<br />

It’s important to have balance<br />

underneath when you have healthy<br />

power outputs up front. The 2-litre<br />

turbocharged engine is a feisty<br />

unit and, as I’ve alluded to, it’s an<br />

engine that has found its way into<br />

hundreds of thousands of vehicles.<br />

I’ve never found a car that hasn’t<br />

thrilled me when fitted with the<br />

GTi engine, and in the Kodaiq RS it<br />

is another exciting product.<br />

In terms of performance it will<br />

accelerate to 100km/h from a<br />

standstill in 6.6sec and will make<br />

a highway overtake in 4.6sec<br />

• Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS,<br />

$79,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4699mm; width,<br />

2087mm; height, 1685mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

1984cc, 180kW, 370Nm,<br />

seven-speed direct shift<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 6.6sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 8.3l/100km<br />

(80-120km/h). On my journey I<br />

passed several slower vehicles and<br />

delighted in the mid-range boost<br />

on tap.<br />

Drive is distributed through a<br />

direct shift gearbox with seven<br />

distinct ratios, by the sheer nature<br />

of its design it is a quick-changing<br />

gearbox that doesn’t put any<br />

unnecessary load on the engine.<br />

That being the case, all of the<br />

horsepower can be utilised for<br />

speed and acceleration when<br />

required. Not only is the engine<br />

a real dynamo, it is one of the<br />

most pleasing in today’s market,<br />

thrilling with its potential and<br />

sound, the automatic downshift<br />

blip reminiscent of a race car on<br />

track.<br />

All that it offers doesn’t come<br />

at the cost of massive fuel usage,<br />

Skoda rates the Kodiaq RS with an<br />

8.3-litre per 100km/h combined<br />

cycle average. During my long<br />

journey the instantaneous figure<br />

sat around 6l/100km at 100km/h<br />

(engine speed 1750rpm) resulting<br />

in a 9l/100km combined figure<br />

when I took the car back to the<br />

dealership.<br />

I particularly enjoyed my time<br />

with the Kodiaq RS, it’s a feisty,<br />

fun SUV that offers a point of<br />

difference in this age where<br />

hybrids and electric vehicles are<br />

commanding that part of the<br />

market.<br />

The Kodiaq RS stands up to<br />

be counted with its honesty and<br />

driveability, it has that fun factor<br />

and serious capability both on-road<br />

and off, although undulating offroad<br />

excursions would be the best<br />

bet. It’s not a serious cross-country<br />

model, but it will take the family<br />

into the high country lakes for that<br />

summer fishing trip and/or the<br />

winter ski field access road with<br />

much ease.<br />

Coincidentally, I dropped<br />

the Kodiaq back and picked up<br />

the VW Tiguan R two days later.<br />

Both have incredible performance,<br />

it’s just whether you want the<br />

maximum this engine will deliver<br />

or not.<br />
