Commonness

The long boat is the eighth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than ship but more common than ship-tie.[2]. It is also the tenth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue. It is the second most common 7-bit still life, being less common than the loaf but more common than eater 1.[3]

Synthesis

Long boat can be constructed using only 3 gliders; its first glider synthesis was found by John Abbott.[4]

gollark: ... wait, do you have USB or USB-C ports?
gollark: Ah. Yes. Thunderbolt. Of course.
gollark: So you could probably do it with an Ethernet cable between them, but I don't know how to configure that, look at bridging the interfaces or something.
gollark: How is your laptop connected to the interweb?
gollark: It sounds like what you really want is threads.
