This is actually 15.855. The boat and block can be made simultaneously; unfortunately, the block is too close to the forming pi to be useful - it must be added later.

The lower right can be easily obtained from sparking an R, and anything with an equivalent spark can go on the left.

It's still worth knowing, in case the extra block is needed, e.g. when adding an inducting snake, carrier, or eater, or a siamese snake or canoe.
