Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated August 31, 1962 reads, "Aye, mates - but in Burbank? Aye again. The regatta was under way at Buena Vista Park when a crew of youthful landlubbers Wednesday shoved off their model sailboats for a navigational sprint across the pond. Wind was calm, the water smooth and the weather hot. No casualties - except a few tipped over sails, a mid-pond collision, and a half dozen boys with wet clothes."
