I am not sure how to put that pic on here- but there is the link. Could you do something like that on top of it? Like, just add it right over the existing quilt. I would make the flower large- like say, 4 feet?
I am not sure I like the idea of just a sailboat slapped on there. I think it would look more repaired and less like it was meant to be there.
If you really want a sailboat, I think Charisma's idea is good. (She is brilliant, btw. Always love her stuff.)

I have fixed quilts like this for people. You can remove torn pices of the quilt, I am sure you can find material that is close to this material. Then you can cut the pices to replace the torn ones. I also cut batting the same size as the torn pieces hand sew them into the spaces and then applique each piece of replacement pieces into the quilt top. You will have a hard time finding where you have fixed the quilt top.
