What distro are you using and how is OpenCPN installed (i.e., as a native app or a Flatpak)? I prefer native apps (there is a PPA for Ubuntu and Debian but it appears only Flatpak is available for Fedora). I'm not sure how plugins interact with Flatpak, but it should be possible to install the SAR plugin if that is what you are using. If the program is installed on a laptop, you could bring it to the next meeting and we could take a look at it.
While not the same as navigation charts, I access weather maps at the following links that may be of use.

Hello Steve.
I use Mint and the install is native. I planned to bring it to the meeting yesterday but my wife was ill and I had to skip it.
https://opencpn.org/OpenCPN/info/downloadplugins.html has numerous plugins for OpenCPN. Scroll down to the bottom for SAR. It says for versions 5.2 and up (I am using 5.6), use the new built in Plug-in Manager to install SAR.
All the SAR plugins I have located say ubuntu or debian (numerous versions) which are identified as "incompatible" when I try to install.
I've shelved this until I can bring my system in and show it. I appreciate your time.
