Umm, are the "woodies" the only ones with front access ports? Haven't seen one on a U.S. Taipan yet-
Where are yours located Phill?
I have considered the fan idea- but even with a port at the front beam you have nearly half the length of the boat (the bow) without "flow-through", although it would be better than with only the rear port- My boat pretty much stays dry (as near as I can tell) while sailing so I use the ventilation ports (which are sold for Recreational vehicles- look in that section of the Wal Mart or at an RV dealer) mostly to allow the hulls to "breathe". You can't keep them dry anyway without constant dessication- Just go out late in the moring after a damp, cool night and feel the inside of your hulls- will be damp or dripping.
