Special Thanks
The Slanty Shanty Regatta Association (SSRA) proudly recognizes the incredible people, organizations, and completely legitimate sponsors who helped make the 2026 Slanty Shanty August Long possible.
Without your support, this would simply be a group of adults arguing over toy boats.
Instead… it's become…
🏁 The Poor Man's Monaco 🚤
💻 Technology & Innovation Partner — HSU Technologies & Goondocks Inc.
The SSRA proudly recognizes the collaborative efforts of HSU Technologies and Goondocks Inc. for designing and building the technology that powers the inaugural Regatta.
Together they transformed a simple weekend at the lake into a fully connected event featuring:
- 📱 Mobile Companion App
- 🪙 Weekend Economy
- 💰 Betting System
- 🏆 Individual & Team Leaderboards
- 🚤 Driver Rankings
- ⚓ Regatta Management
- 🎲 Crew Tokens
- 📊 Live Statistics & Scoring
When everything works perfectly, we'll gladly accept the compliments. When something crashes, it's probably Jones' Wi-Fi.
⚖️ Official Legal Counsel

🔧 Official Marine Engineering Partner
Dan's Mechanical — keeping things running… or at least running long enough to finish the race.

To everyone who brought a game, cooked a meal, launched a boat, cleaned up, shared a laugh, or simply showed up — thank you. The Slanty Shanty August Long isn't built by one person. It's built by every member of the crew.
