Cis-long boat with tail or down long boat with tail[1] is an 11-cell still life.

Construction

This still life is known to be constructible with 5 gliders.[2] Some known syntheses can be found in Mark Niemiec's database.[1] A 6-glider synthesis was found in November 2016.[3]

Occurrence

It is the 27th most common 11-cell still life out of 46. It is 12 times as rare as the trans-long boat with tail.

The octo3obj database contains two collisions with an occurrence of this still life in the final pattern.[5]

Isomers

This still life is comprised of the normally stable long boat with a normally unstable tail attached. This is one of two possible isomers, named cis due to the corner part of the boat being closer to the tail; the other isomer, trans-long boat with tail, has this corner part facing outwards.
