Hard Patch

A hard patch is a type of repair made to a ship's hull or deck that involves the use of a solid material, such as metal or fiberglass, to cover a damaged area. Hard patches are typically used for temporary repairs, and are often applied in emergency situations to prevent further damage or flooding. The patch is secured to the hull or deck using bolts or screws, and may be coated with a sealant to prevent water from entering the damaged area. Hard patches are not intended to be permanent solutions, and should be replaced with more permanent repairs as soon as possible.
