Dit schip werd gebouwd als Breham, G3. De naam werd door de tweede eigenaar veranderd in Flamingo en kwam naar Nederland in 1961. In 1994 werd ze volledig gerestaureerd en zeilt nu onder de naam Red Robin. De foto is uit de Waterkampioen augustus 1961 en werd genomen op de Kaag.

The boat was co-sponsored by boatbuilder Ernst Burmester (Bremen) and the NRV (Hamburg) - hence the name - to be a contender for the German boat to participate in the 1956 Olympics, skippered by Rudi Koppenhagen, but she lost to G 4 "Tilly".
