Emergency rudder size

I'm building an emergency rudder for my Olson 30. Can anyone give me a hint as to how big it must be to be effective, but as small as possible? Perhaps in square feet?

Thanks for your comments on the bow wing. For the Moore 24 supporters, I could no more trade in my beautiful Olson 30 for the sake of one race than I could trade in my beautiful wife for the sake of one date!
