Likely sulfate reducing anaerobic bacteria at work digesting organic
material in the trapped water.dissolved chlorine from Javex for example can
help but may not be a long term solution.  If water gets trapped in such
paces the problem will likely persist because it would be virtually
impossible to keep that water free of organic materials or bacteria.

A black smelly area sure sounds like mold/mildew to me. Try bleach. The
house I used to own got mildew on its porch ceilings - a pressure washer
with a bleach solution worked pretty well. On bad places I used tile
cleaner.

 

I would try some tile cleaner.

(with the local weather, I don't have to worry about mold in my bilge - it
is frozen.)

That's pretty common on 35-3's but I didn't know about 29-2's. Yes, we can
tell you how to fix it. It's going to be long and really tedious. 
Graham? Jake? Alan? Please take a number.

Has anyone ever experienced a very funk-ay smell from under the stringer
that supports the mast? 

Ours is stepped to the keel but the mast appears to be resting on a +/- 6"
wide x 4" tall x 12" long block that is glassed to adjacent stringers. 

There is a small crack in the glass and if there is any water in the bilge
it swashes around the crack and makes the whole boat reek...I have further
investigated the situation and the crack is for sure the smell. Its got an
nasty black ooze that comes emanates as well.
