Weekender is an orthogonal spaceship that was found by David Eppstein in January 2000. On April 27, 2000, Stephen Silver found a tagalong for a pair of weekenders (shown below). At present, n weekenders pulling n-1 or fewer tagalongs constitute the only known spaceships with speed 2c/7 or period 7.
