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
?

For the weight that's correct (at least for little beach catamarans), but as
far as wind and water forces are involved it's a matter of relative
position.

You would place them according to the Centre of Effort and Centre of Lateral
Resistance. Similar to that of a mono. However, many cats are designed
without blades or centreboards as their deep/narrow hulls do a good job of
preventing leeway.
