Boat with hooked tail (or boat siamese long hat) is a small still life composed of a boat and a hooked tail. It can also be interpreted as a loop with the hook section given an extra cell, transforming it into a boat.

It is one of two 11-cell still lifes to fit in a 6×4 bounding box, the other being cis-boat on table.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, Most common objects on Catagolue

Boat with hooked tail is the 122nd most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than cis-bookend and wing but more common than meta-dock and long bookend. Among all still lifes with 11 cells, it is the 13th most common, being less common than cis-boat with nine but more common than snake with feather.[1]

Glider synthesis

Main article: Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 22 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
