    Will enter with Sherkin 91 knots.

    Kinsale Energy recorded 96kts in Feb 2014. I reckon it'll hit 100kts this time. I'm only 25 miles from the platform, nailing everything down at the moment!!

    Roches Point has some shelter to the south, betting on 82kts

    I don't think the OP meant to include Kinsale energy but only stations on land ... but I expect them to either report 105 knot gusts or stop reporting. Holding my land guess at 91 knots Sherkin Island.

    How will this be scored? Something like 5 points for the correct station and a max of 10 points for the correct speed, minus 1 point for every knot off?

    And what's the prize for the winner? :P

    If Casement see 107 kts, there wont be a boards.ie left to announce the winner.

    Recent runs give me more confidence in my Roches Point @ 100 kts
