the forward dorade is not going back in I've never stored the anchor rode forward so it was just another hole that wasn't needed The area around the bow cleat was in good shape so it was reinstalled in the same location with extra large fender washers

As far as I know all J/30's have a deck fitting for a cowl vent at the bow. It may be that you don't use it, but a future owner might find it convenient. Also, I don't believe a previous measurer has made an exception to Class Rule 1.3 and 1.4 for this, so you would need an independent ruling to eliminate it. It would be a shame to be out of compliance over $40 cowl vent and $10 deck plate ( at Defender) that could be easily reinstalled during the refit. In another thread people were discouraged from closing off the cowl vents at the transom that provides airflow to the engine. It would be a bad idea to allow those to be removed.

On our boat the forward vent is covered for sailing and fitted with a solar fan dockside. When the door in the v-berth (to the forepeak) is open, there is a considerable flow of air thru the boat. Air flow is good for the boat! Let's keep it. I honestly didnt realize that this was an amenity that was standard to all J/30s.

To me it makes sense to make such a ruling allowing for the removal of the Cowl vent. When I rehabbed my deck I elliminated the cowl/Solar vent source of water penetration to the core,and placed a hause pipe for the anchor rode mid-bow instead. It is after all an anchor rode locker below. I must also remind that I am not in a OD region. I am the sole J30 Racing in Detroit.

Belle Faster #537 doesn't have a bow vent. The bow area was re-cored so it may have been removed then. I'd hate to miss out on OD fun for that reason. My (vested interest) vote is to make it optional. I can't see that there's any speed advantage to removing it.
