Boat tie long boat is a 12-cell still life. As its name implies, it involves a boat having been tied to a long boat.

It is possible to construct a boat tie long boat with 4 gliders.[1] A number of known syntheses can be found in Mark Niemiec's database.[2]

Commonness

It is the 108th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than rotated house but more common than cis-mirrored long bookend. It is the 14th most common still life with 12 cells, being less common than beehive with nine but more common than trans-mango with tail.

There are two collisions in the octo3obj database[3] and one collision in the octohash database[4] with this still life occurring in the ash.
