In the plans it specifies 6x4mm rectangular carbon rod. This is available in New Zealand, but for other countries where this is not available use 4x4mm square rod as a substitute. The keel slot is designed to accomodate a variety of materials and size combinations. Some builders have also used 4mm aluminium bar instead of carbon.
