World Tin Bath Championship
Rope Drop Header
The annual World Tin Bath Races has something for everyone. Since the kids cannot compete in the races, they are offered the opportunity to check out the Castletown harbour waters in another way. The Rope Drop sends younger members of the public flying through the air from one side of the harbour wall. Their goal is to let go at just the right moment and fall into the centre of a inflated tube marked with coloured balloons. It might seem like an easy task till you try it. Some find defeat by over shooting the target so disappointing they will not let go and have to pried off by men from a boat. A truly wild and wet experience not for those up to the challenge.
