Possible, but MacENC uses the free SailDocs service which says:
COAMPS: This is a meso-scale (i.e. more detailed) regional model provided by the US Navy. Data is available for three regions: eastern Pacific, west Atlantic, and Carib/Central America. The syntax is the same as for a basic grib, except the request-code "coamps:" is used in place of "gfs:" or "grib:". Forecast data is available on a 0.2 x 0.2-deg grid at 6-hour intervals out to 48 hours (72 for west-Atlantic). For best results, use a grid of 0.2-deg or multiples of that to avoid interpolation.
MacENC uses SailDocs because of it's efficient email protocol which works well over satellite phones.
