Very long boat is the twenty-seventh most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than boat-ship-tie but more common than tub with tail.[1] It is also the thirty-sixth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2] It is the rarest still life with a 3-glider synthesis, although the pentadecathlon is even rarer.
