I wonder where in a sailing catamaran would you place the daggerboards, as a
longitudinal position relative to mast, to have the boat correctly balanced?

Between 5% and 10% of the LWL aft of the mast.

Cats are much less sensitive to balance, if you're in the ballpark it'll
be fine.

Im building a chris White Atlantic 48 and the boards are just at the mast on a
