I am an owner of a R33 and recently my boat was parked at a dock overnight. When I returned the next morning I discovered a small round whole in my tramp. It appears someone got on the boat while smoking and either accidentally had ash drop onto the tramp or deliberately put a whole through the tramp with their cigarette. The edge of the whole are burnt and does not appear it will fray but still I am trying to figure out how to put a patch on it or something to prevent future problems. So does anyone have any ideas how to put a patch on or something like this without removing the whole tramp for a repair? So far I have talked with professionals related to this type of work and I have received no suggestions how to fix it.
Thanks,

Miles - I am utterly surprised at the answers you have received here. Don't use the boat again, ever! This has ruined the whole thing, and it is now completely unsafe. As it is completely ruined, you won't even be able to sell it. But, being the good guy that I am, I'll take the boat off your hands. Let me know when I can pick it up. It's a sacrifice for sure, but this is an example of the lengths I'll go to to help my fellow sailors. No thanks are necessary...
