I commonly carry paper charts that at near 40 years old. I do purchase up to date large area coverage charts to be sure I have the additions and corrections, especially to the lights and buoys. I purchase updated C-Map NT charts for Calypso’s chart plotter if I am headed outside of the waters I know very well.
IIRC during a delivery from Tonga to New Zealand I had a few charts that included info referencing Capt. Cook’s surveys (1790+-). We did not approach the Minerva Reef until the sun was up as the differences between older charts and the GPS can be quite large. As to the US Coast Guard, I expect they would be so pleased to see a skipper that had several viable navigation aids/methods (GPS. Paper, ded reckoning skills) that they would give a pass is a chart or two were out of date. They do not give a pass to expired flares.

I'm always worried if I get boarded, they might not accept my 1986 chartkits. Has that changed? Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md ________________________________
