I think a solar vent on the lazarette hatch might help if you've got a 
mildew problem, but unless you shut the boat up while you're aboard, it 
won't suck the air through the boat.

A windscoop over the forward hatch works great at anchor, except for 
those windless nights, of course.  In a slip, you can't generally get a 
good windflow due to the obstructions around and the fact that the boat 
doesn't follow the wind direction.  Then, a square box fan placed over 
the forward hatch can come in handy.
