Spinnaker Poles

We at MAURIPRO Sailing understand how vital it is to keep the right spinnaker shape during your downwind leg. We carry an assortment of custom aluminum and carbon spinnaker poles for all sailboats as well as premade one-design spinnaker poles. Spinnaker Poles are priced based on the diameter of the pole and can be made to any exact finished length that is specified. On most boats, the ideal spinnaker pole finished length is equal to the boat's J dimension, the distance from the mast to the bow. Technical assistance is available to help you find the right Spinnaker Pole for your symmetrical spinnaker.

The MAURIPRO Sailing store offers a variety of Spinnaker Poles that will make your boating experience unforgettable!

THE THRILL OF THE WIND FILLING THE SPINNAKER

Once you have experienced the thrill of the wind filling the spinnaker, you are sure to be hooked on spinnaker sailing. Seldén brings this sensation to yachtsmen all over the world through its complete range of easy-to-use aluminium and carbon spinnaker poles and accessories.

SELDÉN ALUMINIUM POLES

give you fast and safe spinnaker handling. All the fittings have well-rounded edges to prevent personal injury and damage to equipment. The extrusions are lightweight and very durable, and are fitted with pole savers to shield the pole against damage from forestay and shrouds.

Composite end fittings are available for our Ø 48-Ø 96 poles. These fittings are normally used for end-for-end gybing but can be used for vertical pole stowage and dip gybing as well.

Our traditional aluminium fittings for dip gybing are available for the Ø 72-Ø 111 sections.

CARBON SPINNAKER POLES

Weight comparison – aluminium and carbon spinnaker poles (equal strength, aluminium spinnaker pole section 99/99, length 5150 mm, weight 16.9 kg., carbon spinnaker pole section 102/102, length 5150 mm, weight 9 kg., seldén quality.

We have developed our own computer controlled manufacturing method in which prepreg (pre-impregnated) tows are wound onto a mandrel (cylinder) prior to oven curing. This method enables us to exercise full control over every stage of the manufacturing process and guarantee products of consistently high quality. One of the big advantages of this Seldén production method is that it enables us to achieve sufficient durability in the areas subject to the greatest loads and wear.

IN ALL SIZES

Seldén carbon spinnaker poles are suitable for dinghies and for yachts up to 30 tonnes. The larger poles are tapered to optimise weight/strength requirements, and facilitate handling.

A sailboat uses different sails depending on the condition and the angle of the wind to the boat. You have the mainsail that provides the majority of the propulsion. But when you need to sail off the wind, the spinnaker does the job. It is designed for sailing between a reach and downwind. So finding the right spinnaker for sale for your sailboat is important.

The spinnaker usually stands out on the water because of its bright colors. They are also the largest sails on a boat, allowing them to harness more wind then any other type of sail. But because they are made from lighter fabrics, sailors should be wary of when to fly them. Overly windy conditions can lead to catastrophic tears on the sail.

From a storm or or regular wear, eventually you will eventually need to replace your spinnaker with a new one or find another similar used spinnaker for sale. Sometimes, you may want to try other designs to see how they work on your boat. The most cost-efficient way to do that is to buy from the second-hand market.

Platforms like SailTrader.com provide you an opportunity to reach out to other like-minded sailors who could have something you need: looking to sell a spinnaker or find a spinnaker for sale. All you have to do is know the size of the you’re looking for, and the find the right size you need.

Finding used spinnaker for sale is a more affordable option compared to getting a new one. However, it is more challenging. You need to know what you are looking for and ask the right questions to find the perfect fit for you. There are several factors to consider in the process. For example, what type of spinnaker are you looking for?

Racing Spinnaker

A racing spinnaker is designed for one purpose: speed. It is a performance sail for sailors who like to compete in races or want faster boat speed. They also help you sail better in downwind conditions, which usually compose about half of a race. The right racing spinnaker gives you more power to get to maximum speeds on your vessel.

Cruising Spinnaker

Other captains and sailors do not consider speed as the primary performance metric for their sails. Other factors could be more important depending on how you want to sail. For those looking for a durable and reliable spinnaker, a cruising design is best for you.

Whether you want a racing or a cruising spinnaker, the shape is another thing you want to consider.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Spinnakers

The symmetrical spinnaker features the same shape on either side of the center vertical line. The top part attaches to a halyard. The bottom corners are called clews. The windward side, when flying, is known as the tack.

The advantage of a symmetrical spinnaker is stability. You can attach the windward side to a pole to achieve this. However, their biggest advantage comes from the ability to sail at deep angles. Some boats can even sail dead downwind with symmetrical spinnakers.

An asymmetric spinnaker is more triangular compared to a symmetric one. They have three corners, which are:

• The head which attaches to the halyard
• The tack which goes to a tackline that goes all the way to the end of a fixed spinnaker pole
• The clew and lead aft which have sheets on either side of the mast

The two types of spinnakers are built for different situations. Consider how you like to sail to determine which one suits you. Once you know, you can start your search for a new spinnaker.

Start by visiting SailTrader.com, where you can shop a variety of used spinnakers for sale from North Sails , Quantum Sails , Doyle Sails , UK Sailmakers , Evolution , Ullman Sails, and more. You can also get a new spinnaker quote through SailTrader.com.

How to Use a Spinnaker Pole: A Step-by-Step Guide

For sailors who want to maximize the efficiency of their boat’s downwind sailing, mastering the use of a spinnaker pole is essential. Whether you’re racing or cruising, knowing how to properly use this tool can improve your boat’s performance. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up and use a spinnaker pole while sailing. And if you’re looking for a high-performance spinnaker pole, custom carbon fiber tubing provides the strength and lightweight durability needed to optimize your experience on the water.

What is a Spinnaker Pole?

A spinnaker pole is a horizontal spar that is used to hold the clew of a spinnaker sail (or headsail) out, allowing it to catch more wind when sailing downwind. This piece of equipment is pivotal in creating the right angle for the sail, providing more control and efficiency when using the spinnaker.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Spinnaker Pole

Step 1: prepare the pole.

Before you start setting up the spinnaker pole, make sure it’s properly prepared. If you’re using custom carbon fiber tubing for your spinnaker pole, you’ll appreciate its light weight, which makes handling easier. Attach the inboard end of the pole to the mast’s track using a mast car or ring fitting. Ensure that the outboard end is free and can swivel, as this will be attached to the sail.

Step 2: Raise the Spinnaker

With the spinnaker pole set on the mast, raise the spinnaker halyard and start hoisting the sail. Once the sail is mostly up, take the sheet and guy lines from the clew of the sail and prepare them for attachment to the spinnaker pole. The guy is the line that will be attached to the pole, while the sheet will control the trim.

Step 3: Attach the Spinnaker Pole to the Guy

Now that the spinnaker is ready, it’s time to attach the pole. Take the guy line from the clew of the spinnaker and attach it to the outboard end of the spinnaker pole. This is the critical point where the pole will push the sail out and hold it in position. If using custom carbon fiber tubing , you’ll find that the pole is easier to maneuver and can handle tension better than traditional aluminum or steel poles.

Step 4: Trim the Spinnaker

With the spinnaker pole in place, adjust the sheet and guy lines to properly trim the sail. You want the spinnaker to catch the wind without flapping, ensuring that the clew is pulled forward but not overly tight. The pole should be positioned at a right angle to the apparent wind to allow the sail to maintain its shape and fullness.

Step 5: Adjust the Pole Height

The height of the spinnaker pole is adjusted using the topping lift and the downhaul. The topping lift pulls the pole upward, while the downhaul keeps it from flying too high. Adjust these lines to maintain the spinnaker’s horizontal positioning, optimizing the sail’s interaction with the wind.

Step 6: Gybe the Pole

If you need to change course and perform a gybe, carefully switch the spinnaker pole from one side of the boat to the other. First, lower the inboard end of the pole from the mast and detach the guy line. Next, move the pole to the other side of the mast, reattach the guy line, and raise the pole again using the topping lift and downhaul.

Carbon fiber poles, particularly those made from custom carbon fiber tubing , are especially useful during this process due to their lightweight design. This makes it easier to manage the pole during complex maneuvers like gybing.

Benefits of Using Custom Carbon Fiber Tubing for Your Spinnaker Pole

One of the main advantages of using custom carbon fiber tubing for your spinnaker pole is its strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber poles are significantly lighter than their aluminum or steel counterparts, which makes handling them more manageable, especially during intense racing conditions. Additionally, carbon fiber is known for its durability, meaning it can withstand the high loads placed on the spinnaker pole during downwind sailing.

Custom carbon fiber poles are also highly versatile, allowing sailors to tailor the length and diameter of the pole to fit their specific boat and sail size. This customization ensures that you get the best performance out of your spinnaker setup.

Using a spinnaker pole effectively can transform your downwind sailing, making it smoother and more efficient. Following the correct steps—from preparing the pole to adjusting the sail trim—ensures that you’re using the spinnaker to its full potential. And with the strength and lightweight properties of custom carbon fiber tubing , you’ll experience better handling and increased durability, enhancing your overall sailing performance.

At FORTE RTS , we offer high-quality custom carbon fiber tubing to meet the needs of sailors looking to optimize their spinnaker performance. If you’re serious about improving your downwind sailing, consider upgrading to a custom carbon fiber spinnaker pole today!

FORESPAR® SETS THE STANDARD IN DOWNWIND SAILING EQUIPMENT!

Sail faster and easier downwind with a Forespar® composite spinnaker pole.

Forespar® has perfected the art of manufacturing carbon fiber equipment not only for the blue water yachts and racers but now for the recreational sailorl. We made our first carbon fiber spar in 1979, years before anyone else in the U.S. And, we have manufactured standard composite spinnaker (and whisker) poles for more than 15 years.

Forespar® is the world leader in standard composite spinnaker poles, whisker poles and reaching struts. Spinnaker poles are available in standard sizes up to 6-inch diameters, and are offered in double tapered as well as parallel configurations.

We also custom design and make carbon fiber poles or bow sprits specifically sized for your boat and the head sail(s) of your choice: code zeros, asymmetrical spinnakers, spinnakers or roller furling genoas. Typically a composite spinnaker pole is 40% lighter than a similar aluminum pole yet almost 50% stiffer. Fixed length whisker poles and bow spirits are 50% lighter that their metal counterparts.

All Forespar® poles are manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in our California plant by professional riggers and composite engineers..

Forespar® carbon fiber poles available in deep epoxy clear coat or any Awlgrip color.

CUSTOM POLES - Maintenance

Clear coated carbon fiber products require periodic recoating to protect against UV damage. Depending on geographical area levels of U.V. exposure, recoating may be needed annually. Recoating can be applied using High Gloss Clear #G3005 and #G3010 converter. Forespar strongly recommends white Awlgrip coating if poles are to be stored on deck or up the mast.

NOTE: Please use our CARBON POLE ORDER FORM to specify your requirement.

*AWLGRIP white stocked, custom AWLGRIP color add $145.00

Please place your order with our Carbon Fiber Pole engineers.

• Installation/Maintenance
• Spare Parts

Forespar's composites division has years of experience in the production of high performance poles for racing and criusing boats. Weight reductions over similar aluminum poles are typically 50% or better.

Poles from 2.5" to 4.5" diameters are straight tubes. Poles 4.5" and larger are available with double tapers.

Forespar poles are produced from intermediate modulus carbon fiber and high performance epoxy resin systems.

Three finish options are available: standard finish is "EZ Grip" as molded, optional Awlgrip color coats (matterhorn white unless other color is specified) or High-Gloss clear coat finish is available.

Forespar strongly recommends a color coat on any pole that is to be stored on deck or up the mast.

Fresh Water Rinse, Best stored out of direct sunlight

Description

 This vessel boasts a comprehensive sail inventory, including a recently purchased main sail with a stack pack in excellent condition, a 40% A1 jib also in pristine condition, and a stay sail that has never been used. The cruising spinnaker has also seen minimal use, having been deployed less than half a dozen times. While the boat includes a full spinnaker package, the spinnaker itself was never purchased, and the pole was unfortunately lost in the yard.

The owner's forward cabin configuration offers extended length and comes with two full closets, providing ample storage for long voyages. The cabin also features an electric forward head for added convenience. The rigging includes a single backstay with an adjuster, which, although requiring additional reinforcement, offers ease of adjustment.

On deck, the sailboat is equipped with a single electric winch on the cabin top, simplifying the raising of the mainsail and furling of the jib. The adjustable jib cars are a noteworthy feature of the original spinnaker package. The vessel is well-equipped with a total of six winches, ensuring smooth sailing in various conditions.

The engine has been upgraded with two alternators—one dedicated to the house batteries and the other to the engine—addressing a design limitation common in most 452s. The engine compartment was reconfigured to accommodate this enhancement, providing added reliability and efficiency during extended cruises.

This 2002 Sabre 452 sailboat is a rare find, offering a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and thoughtful upgrades that cater to the discerning sailor. Whether planning coastal cruising or offshore adventures, this vessel is fully equipped to meet your needs.

Introduction.

The province of Orenburg, its capital having the same name, is located on the Ural River in Eastern European Soviet Russia . The region had an area of 47,787 square miles and a population of 1,677,013 after World War II (124,000 square kilometers and a population of 2,179,551 in 2002). The city of Orenburg (renamed Chkalov between 1938 and 1957), established in 1735, is located on the railroad from Samara (Kuibyshev) to Tashkent ; its population was 172,925 after World War II (approx. 548,800 in 2002). The population of the province consists of Russians, Bashkirs, Tatars, and many minority groups including Germans. The capital of Orenburg is a significant trading center between Asiatic and European Russia.

Beginning of the Settlement

In 1892-93 the Mennonites of the Chortitza Mennonite Settlement in the Ukraine sent a commission to the Deyev, landowning Russians, in the province of Orenburg, who had offered some land for sale. Since the commission made the visit during the winter they did not even see the land, which was located some 35-45 miles from the railroad station and about 50 miles from the city of Orenburg. The price per acre was 9 rubles. The land purchased amounted to 67,500 acres, to which 2,700 acres were added later. The purchase was made by the Chortitza Mennonite volost (administration) and the land was distributed among the landless Mennonites of the Chortitza Mennonite Settlement . Each farmer was to have not less than 110 acres and was to be exempt from payment on the land and taxes for two years. One of the Chortitza villages gave each of its families 200 rubles additional aid. The first settlers were already organized into five villages before leaving. They left on four trains from the station of Alexandrovsk (now Zaporizhia ).

The Orenburg settlement is located on the Tchuran, Uran, and Gusicha rivers. At least 25 villages were established. Karl Fast reports that there were 28 before World War II. In 1894-1897 Chortitza, Petrovka, Kantserovka, Kamenka , Deyevka , Nikolayevka, Romanovka, and Feodorovka were established. Starting in 1900 the following additional villages were established: Pretoria, Suvorovka, Dolinovka, Rodnichnoye, Dobrovka , and Kitchkas. All of these were founded by settlers from the Chortitza settlement.

Starting in 1895 the Molotschna Mennonite settlement established the following villages adjacent to the Chortitza Mennonite villages: Kubanka, Klubnikovo , Stepanovka, Aliessovo , Karaguy , Kameshevoye, Chernozernoye, Zelenoye. Additional villages were Zabangul, Lyubimovka, and Pogornoye.

The Orenburg settlement never received an "official" name. Sometimes it was known as the Deyevka Mennonite Settlement and sometimes the Orenburg Mennonite Settlement. After 1917 the settlement was known as Uran Volost.

The first years of the settlement were very difficult. Many of the settlers returned to their mother settlements. Their reports did not raise the reputation of the new settlement. Poverty, long winters, poor soil, remote markets, theft by the surrounding nomadic population, and other factors made the beginning extremely difficult. Crop failures were frequent, but the mother settlement was unable or unwilling to make the necessary loans to give the settlement a good start. The cycle of crop failures was as follows: 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916, and 1921. The worst of all was 1906, when the mother and sister settlements helped by collecting food, clothing, and money for the settlers. Feed for the livestock had to be bought in the vicinity.

In 1907-1908 many of the Orenburg Mennonite settlers joined the Mennonites from the Ukraine in establishing the Slavgorod and Pavlodar settlements in Siberia. Some of the land of those who left the Orenburg settlement was distributed among those who remained.

Gradually the economic life of the settlement became more normal. A number of minor industries were established. About five mills powered by wind and water were operated to grind the necessary flour. One of the better-known water-powered mills was operated by Jacob A. Eckert. The necessary food oil was produced in the mill operated by Johann J. Löwen. In the carpenter and smith shops the necessary furniture and tools were made and repaired. Implement and machinery stores were operated by Jacob Bergen of Klubnikovo and others. Other business enterprises were set up in the villages of Pretoria, Klubnikovo, Dobrovka, and Deyevka. After the Revolution co-operative stores were introduced.

Administration, Education, Health

The administration of the Settlement was the traditional one. Each village had a Schulze , and the Chortitza and Molotschna settlements each had an Oberschulze or Vorsteher. The Chortitza administration was responsible to the Bashkir volost in Akhmerovo, and the Molotschna villages to the Russian Abramov volost. At first the position of the Oberschulze was somewhat unique. He was not only a servant to the villages, but also to the mother settlement in the Ukraine , whose interests he had to represent since the settlement was sponsored by the Chortitza and Molotschna settlements. Later the Orenburg Settlement became more independent. Among the officeholders of the Chortitza villages at Orenburg were Dietrich Lepp, Joseph Friesen, David Froese, Anton Günther, and Isaak Penner. In 1913 under Isaak Penner the Chortitza villages received title of land ownership and thus became independent of the Chortitza Settlement. The officeholders of the Molotschna villages were Bernhard Matthies 1895-99, Abram Fast 1899-1907, and Johann Spenst 1907-17.

After the Revolution the 25 Mennonite villages were organized into an independent volost with its seat in the village of Kitchkas. H. H. Löwen became the secretary and Jacob W. Pries the Oberschulze. The volost was subdivided into smaller districts.

During and after the Russian Revolution of 1917 the Settlement underwent the same changes as other communities. In the immediate vicinity of the settlement the Bashkir and Kirghiz republics were created, the boundary between the two cutting across the Mennonite settlement. Both republics claimed the Mennonite settlement within their boundaries. The controversy between them was settled when the Bashkirs occupied the Mennonite settlement and took it over. The Mennonites were constantly open to exploitation under this arrangement until they were transferred to the Kirghiz Republic. Later developments have been the same as in the rest of Russia .

Other public activities of the settlement were the customary fire insurance, with separate divisions for the Chortitza and Molotschna villages, as well as the Waisenamt (i.e. orphanage office). Medical care was primitive in the early days. The usual midwives and bonesetters ( Knochenarzt ) took care of the basic needs. Among the midwives were Mrs. Jacob Giesbrecht and Mrs. Cornelius Kehler. Johann Braun, who settled in Orenburg in 1902, had some training and experience in the care for the sick and became known as "Dr. Braun." He did much to relieve suffering in the settlements. For a while he was assisted by Dr. Michel from St. Petersburg. After Braun's death in 1911 a Pole by the name of Yunovitch practiced medicine until the outbreak of World War I (1914). In 1922 Dr. Rudolph A. Klassen, under the sponsorship of American Mennonite Relief , served the community until he immigrated to Canada. He was succeeded by Dr. Lassmann. In 1925 the Soviet government opened a hospital in the Mennonite village of Rodnichnoye with Dr. Shostakov in charge.

The settlers established an elementary school in each village. Some of the teachers, e.g., Isaak G. Krahn , David H. Löwen, and Johann B. Mathies, had received a normal teacher's training. The annual salary of a teacher in the early days was 350-650 rubles. Some of the young boys went to the mother settlements for secondary school training. In 1919 twelve of the elementary schools had two rooms.

In 1907 a Zentralschule was established at Pretoria, a secondary school which helped to raise the educational and cultural level of the settlement. One of the outstanding leaders of the school board was P. P. Dyck. Among the teachers of this school were R. A. Riesen, Franz, F. Lehn, Dietrich J. Gossen, P. P. Sawatzky, Fr. F. Froese, P. P. Dyck, D. H. Loewen, D. H. Koslowsky, and F. F. Klassen. In 1918 and 1920 respectively the settlement established additional secondary schools in Deyevka and Klubnikovo . By 1925-26 all the schools were taken over by the Soviet government and administered according to the Marxian philosophy, which is vividly described by Karl Fast.

In 1923 a Bible school was established in Orenburg by an organization of 61 members. Isaak J. Töws was the chairman, Peter Paethkau secretary, and Gerhard Braun treasurer. Jakob Rogalsky was the first teacher and the instruction was given in the home of G. Derksen in Karaguy . During the second year the school had 47 pupils and Jakob Rempel and Peter Koehn were added as teachers. The instruction was given in the home of David Rempel of Kantserovka. During the third year (1925-26) 67 pupils attended the school and the instruction was given in the Mennonite Brethren Church of Kamenka . The pupils came from various other settlements besides Orenburg. The government closed the school in 1927.

World War I and After

During World War I many of the men were drafted for forestry service and hospital work. In many instances the women had to do the work in the home as well as on the farm. In 1915 some six thousand German nationals were interned in the Mennonite and surrounding villages. The novel Das sibirische Tor by Hans Harder deals at length with this incident. After the war most of them returned to Germany . Only a few Mennonite girls married German nationals and went along to Germany .

During and after the Revolution the Orenburg Mennonites suffered severely, although not as much as some of the Mennonites of the Ukraine . Requisitions of property, grain, horses, etc., were common. In 1921 the Settlement experienced a crop failure and starvation set in. In some of the surrounding villages a large percentage of the population perished. The Mennonites organized a relief committee to collect food for distribution among the starving. An attempt was made to take clothing to Siberia in return for food, but it failed. Some help came in 1921 when the American Mennonite Relief reached Orenburg. D. R. Höppner reached Orenburg in March 1922 and supervised the distribution of relief until August 1924. Some fifteen carloads of food supplies were distributed, not only among Mennonites. In addition to this much was done to improve health conditions among the settlers. American clothing was distributed in 1923-24. American Mennonite Relief also established a tractor service to boost agriculture. Thus the crisis of 1921-22 was gradually overcome.

A great problem for the settlement during the Revolution and the years of civil war was the attacks made by the surrounding nomadic population. Some of the young Mennonites organized a Selbstschutz to defend their lives and property, although this action was officially condemned by the churches.

In the early days of the Soviets the Mennonites of Orenburg were permitted to do alternative service, supported by the settlement. In 1920-22 they worked on a large nearby estate. Later exemption from military service became impossible.

After the Revolution, during the NEP period, the Orenburg Mennonite settlement revived its economic and religious life (as is recorded in the pages of Unser Blatt and Der Praktische Landwirt ). The results of the crop failures of 1921-22 and the following years were gradually overcome. In 1925 a co-operative was founded to raise the quality of the seed and livestock of the settlement. The co-operatives, which proved to be a success, established tractor stations, dairying, etc. From 1 January to 1 September, 36 tons of cheese were produced. Great progress was made in agriculture as well as in the cultural and religious activities of the communities. The total population of the Orenburg Mennonite settlement was 5,767 on 1 February 1926. In 1913 the congregations were centered in Deyevka (since 1899) with 1,103 members and 1,615 minor children, in Klubnikovka with 594 souls, and in Karaguy with 286 souls. The last two belonged to the Mennonite Brethren .

During the NEP period the elders of the Mennonite Church and the Mennonite Brethren Church, Heinrich Rempel and Kornelius Vehr, died and were succeeded by Isaak Krahn and David Janz. The relationship between the two churches improved. One writer states, "As never before the children of God are striving toward unity." Bible studies and song festivals were jointly conducted. Plans were under way to construct one large church for use by both groups. Soon the great change came and religious activities were suppressed and survived only in the hearts of individual believers. Rigid collectivization set in.

Some 300 persons migrated to Canada in 1926 under the leadership of Peter P. Dyck. On 9 September 1926 the group left Orenburg in nine freight cars, arrived at Moscow on 15 September, and at Riga on 18 September, and proceeded to Canada.

When the NEP period came to a close in 1928-29 and the new collectivization program was inaugurated many regretted that they had not left Russia. Among the thousands of refugees reaching Moscow in the fall of 1929 there were many from Orenburg. Most of them, however, were returned; some reached Paraguay and Brazil . Many of those remaining in Russia were exiled. Walter Quiring lists nineteen leading settlers, teachers, and ministers who were exiled at this time.

When the German army invaded Russia, the Orenburg Settlement, unlike most of the other Mennonite settlements of European Russia, was not evacuated. This, however, did not mean that the Settlement did not suffer. The exploitation of the settlers during the dark years of the Revolution continued. Again in 1951 the region of the Orenburg Settlement experienced a drought. All religious services were forbidden. In 1951 a letter says, "Religious funeral services cannot be conducted but we are permitted to sing. Nothing is offered to the children" (by way of spiritual life) ( Mennonitische Rundschau , (30 July 1952): 5, 16).

Conditions changed considerably in 1955. Reports reached relatives in America about conversions, religious revivals, and worship services. Not only did the surviving ministers start to preach, but also many of the converted but unordained young men began to conduct meetings and preach. Worship services and Bible study was conducted in the homes and barns of the various villages. It even became permissible to teach some German in the elementary schools. Baptismal services were held. One report stated that 98 persons from eight villages were baptized at one time in the village of Petrovka. Numerous ministers were ordained. The writers were enthusiastic about the privilege of worshiping again.

A letter published in Der Bote (4 January 1956: 7) reported that a group met regularly for worship services and that the congregation was growing. Abram Dyck was the leading minister. Another letter published in the Mennonitische Rundschau (1 February 1956: 6) reported that a group met regularly for worship in the home of Heinrich Unruh at Kubanka and that David Günter was the minister. During the mid-1950s none of the former meetinghouses had been reopened for worship services. In Romanovka the former schoolhouse became a clubhouse and the church was converted into a schoolhouse.

The economic life changed and improved considerably after World War II . All farming was done on a collective basis. One of the letters of 1955 reported that women did not need to work outdoors during the winter. An old couple by the name of Peter Braun was supported by the collective. A letter published in Der Bote (12 October 1956: 8) stated that three men had married Russian women, that they had enough food and clothing, and that they had just received electric lights and radios. The correspondence showed that the young men were drafted into the Russian army. There were no indications that this was not taken for granted. -- Cornelius Krahn

1990 Update

The Mennonites of the Orenburg (Kitchkass) and the old Neu Samara ( Pleshanov ) settlements were not dislodged and permanently relocated as had been the case with most other Mennonites who lived west of the Volga River before World War II. All the farming communities had been collectivized, of course, and sovietization was carried forward in other aspects of community life as well. The churches were all closed in the Stalin era, and the majority of adults and young people had to join the Trud Armia (labor army) during the war.

The repressions of the late 1940s and early 1950s gave way temporarily to a period of recovery and reconstruction after the death of Stalin in 1953. The end of the special regime ( Spetskomandantura ) restrictions for all Germans came two years later. Most of those who left the Orenburg communities during the preceding decade, if they had survived, were able to return to their home villages in this region.

Revivals, which had begun here as early as the late 1940s, were renewed about this time when the arrested church leaders were released. Small groups were able to meet for worship and fellowship once more. There were, however, more arrests in 1958-62. In 1965 those from the Pleshanov region of the former Neu Samara settlements were freed and church life could be organized here once again.

In April 1972, the Donskoi congregation requested registration, but was not granted the privilege until four years later. Construction of a house of worship began immediately, and in the ensuing years this group had become the largest congregation of the area. Daniel Janzen was the Ältester for most of this period. The congregation numbered about 400 members in 1987.

Among the dozen or more older Mennonite villages of this area there were now registered Mennonite Brethren congregations not only in Donskoi, but also in Podolsk and Ischalka, with unregistered groups active in Klinok, Kahan, Kuterlja, Krassikova, Lugovsk , and Totz Koe. The total Mennonite Brethren membership of this area was around 1,000 baptized members in 1987. Some Kirchliche Mennonites lived in these villages also.

Most of the Kirchliche Mennonite congregations in the Orenburg settlements were located in villages once established by Chortitza families from Ukraine . The Ältester of the total body, Diedrich Thiessen, led his own registered congregation at Kitchkass (No. 12) until his emigration to West Germany. This group had about 100 members. Registered congregations were also found in the villages of Chortitza (No. 1), Petrovka (No. 2), Kanzerovka (No. 3), Zhdanovka (earlier Deyevka ) (No. 5), Nikolaevka (No. 6), Fejodorovka (No. 7), Sol-Iletzk (south of Orenburg), and Stepanovka. Unregistered congregations were active in Dolinovka and Pretoria. Seven of these congregations had their own church buildings, and the total membership was around 700 (1987).

A dozen or more Mennonite Brethren congregations were located in these villages also. At least eight of them built new meetinghouses during the 1970s and 1980s. Each congregation had its own Ältester , and the total membership was more than 1,500. Groups were registered in the following locations: Chortitza, Petrovka, Kanzerovka, Kamenka, Zhdanovka, Fejodorovka, Suvorovka, Pretoria, Kubanka, Stepanovka, lisovo, and Susanovo. Hundreds of former Mennonites found their way into nearby Baptist congregations, notably those in the city of Orenburg itself.

During most of the 1980s emigration had not affected the Orenburg communities as it had the Mennonites of western Siberia and Soviet Central Asia , e.g., Kazakhstan and Kirgizia. The whole area was opened to tourists and other travelers, so that east-west exchanges increased significantly during the late 1980s. However, during the late 1980s and the 1990s, the majority of the Mennonite inhabitants of the Settlement immigrated to Germany. -- Lawrence Klippenstein
