Boat with hooked nine is a 13-cell still life.

This still life is named in analogy to boat with hooked tail; an alternate name, 13-boat wrap eater, is also used, but discouraged.

Construction

This still life can be constructed with 4 gliders.[1] Several known alternate syntheses can be found in Mark Niemiec's database.[2] A 4-glider synthesis was found in July 2017.[3]
