Hi Will,

There is a NCEP site
        http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/coads/ncep_obs/
on the net somewhere that has an archive of all maritime observational data
since 1990. I've downloaded them and burned them on a CD; besides I have
written a messy program that extracts some of the data and then draws a
pilot chart for a specified region and time window. The data in the files
do not include sea state or storm tracks; however if you shop around a bit
I think you will be able to find those too. I you are not in a hurry I
could make you some pilot charts.

_Steven.
