not 100% answer for Your question, but ... :-)
MacENC - not optimal way to make SailDoc request.
Biggest problem - You can't manage size of receiving file!
If You always have internet on board - just use ZyGrib, if no - still best idea describe Your plan for access Grib data.
I personally use - SailMail (under VMWare) for preparing request, if I use satellite I just copy e-mail text from SailMail to X-Gate, but You can see aprx size BEFORE send request.
Also good Grib provide GlobalMarine network, just wind but very optimized and accurate.
