Phil, I struggled with the same problem. I considered Nico vents, added opening ports and a hatch. I ended up installing the smallest Bomar hatch (11" I think) in the foredeck. It provides good ventilation and some additional light in what is normally a dark forepeak. I now sleep with my head to the bow and directly under the hatch. This allows me to breath the freshest air and if it rains, I'm right there to close the hatch.
I'm sure this is not the only solution, but I would do it again.
