ABSTRACT:
A rudder sleeve for enlarging the surface area of a boat rudder includes first and second stainless steel plates having four side edges defining first and second opposed major hydrodynamic surfaces. The rudder sleeve has a substantially rectilinear periphery. The first and second plates are secured together around the periphery of three of the four side edges by welding to define a narrow pocket between the first and second plates enclosed on three side edges.
An open side edge is provided for placing the boat rudder into the pocket. Fastening bolts are provided for being extended through the first and second plates and the boat rudder from side-to-side to fasten the rudder sleeve to the boat rudder.
