NOAA has discontinued updates to its classic PDF paper charts and replaced them with the NOAA Custom Chart (NCC) application, which lets mariners build a full-color PDF chart of any U.S. area at a chosen scale and paper size.0:07 Tom Tursi and Frank Mummert of Maryland School of Sailing walk through the NCC workflow: selecting an area (Cape Cod is demonstrated on screen), setting scale — small-scale charts at 1:30,000–1:50,000 for passage planning, large-scale at 1:8,000–1:10,000 for port areas — and choosing paper size.12:05 The resulting PDF goes to a print shop; Buxmont Office Supply prints 36×48-inch charts on 20-pound bond for $12 each and 11×17-inch port charts for $2 each.10:33 Other vendors named include FedEx, Paradise Key, National Charts Online, Ocean Graphics, MapTech, Blue Water Books and Charts, and the Frugal Navigator.1:16:56 Classic NOAA chart numbers remain in historical files but are no longer updated, so commercial sellers still offering them are selling out-of-date products.1:32 The discussion covers compass roses (absent from Ocean Graphics prints; NCC-generated charts can include them), magnetic variation (NOAA's online declination calculator), and the use of protractors instead of compass roses.1:02:45 British Admiralty charts are still required for the Bermuda run because that route falls outside the NCC system.1:49:14 Supporting publications — light list, Local Notice to Mariners — are introduced but the discussion breaks off before completion.35:13
