ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A small boat rudder assembly is disclosed, of the type in which there is provided a rudder blade mounted in a substantially vertical plane on a stock member by a first substantially horizontal pivot, so that the blade is adapted to pivot in the vertical plane between lover and upper con- ditions. It is often desired to raise the rudder blade while sailing, as for instance in shallow water, and according to the present invention, there is provided a rudder assembly of the type specified having an elongate tiller member which is adapted to extend forwardly of the stock member and is coupl- ed to the rudder blade by a further substantially horizontal pivot, which, with the rudder blade in a lowermost condition, is rearward of and above the first pivot. Inter-engaging securing means, such as a slot in the tiller member and a peg on the stock member are provided, with the arrangement being such that, on disengagement of the peg from the slot, forward movement of the tiller member rotates the blade in the vertical plane about the first pivot, to raise the blade.
