I overbuilt the hull to 1/2 an inch and installed the bunks full
cabin width to form a complete sole - very nice. And yet the
slapping was not tolerable to us after a few nights.
Once it warmed up a bit, we slept in deck which was wonderful.

Honestly, I found the sound soothing in my Micro. The bottom was
doubled 1/4" with glass sheathing. We did have blankets all over
the bottom to sleep on. I also built the berths. That gets your
ear off the floor!
I find internal halyards way more annoying on larger boats.

substantially lenghten the submersed waterline! Thus, when you run

I used to crew on an IOR 3/4 tonner, it had a long low stern overhang ( to
cheap WL length)
and the wavelets would slap under there all night. It was near impossible to
sleep sober in the
quarter berth (luckily I didn't have to sleep sober often on race nights).
Skipper bought a thing that looked like a swimming pool float matress made
of
beer hugger foam that he secured right up under the overhang, it worked. I
forget the name of it
but I used to see ads for it in the sailing mags, something like Slapper
Stopper.

As the sound, causing the sleep disturbance,
is passing through the 1/4" plywood hull, just
an inch from your ear: perhaps simply insulating
the plywood sole with 'sound proofing' would solve
the problem.
Laminate on some 1" Styrofoam, and then add
a layer of 3mm luaun door skin 'armor' to the
interior bottom. Perhaps the sides too.
Side benefits; more buoyancy if flooded, warmer cabin,
less condensation too.

I have no idea if this would work, but I would be tempted to try it because
it would be cheap and easily stowed.
Get 4 foot long board and a couple of yards of sturdy cloth. Fold the cloth
over length wise and sew one end together. To the other end attach ropes to
the corners. To deploy attach the board to the bow (use the cut out steps)
driving the end about a foot into the water. Drag the open end of the cloth,
using the ropes, under the bow board and bring them back to the cockpit and tie
them off. Make sure the sewn end of the cloth "pocket" is snug against the
bow board. This might get you a soft version of the stem of a typical deadrise
hull, or maybe a soft version of a bolger type cutwater. OTOH maybe it will
just turn slap to glub and be just as noisy. Just a thought.
