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 />
capitulation ending World War 2.<br />
Fall in love<br />
Joining the 25th Minesweeping<br />

completed the Waiho was sold to<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 />

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 />
