Re design, What is too much help to ask for ?

How accomadating are you fellow members ?. There are many a designer amongst you all, I, am not !.
I'm trying to build my own yacht as I can't afford or find what suits our needs/wants , but before I can go much further I need to make decisions as to placement and size of Daggerboards [ in my case] affecting the CLR ,and rig size / placement.
I know there are recognized ratios, sail area / displacement [ don't know those yet ] , I can work out my centre of effort , [but is my sail plan big enough ? ] and CLR , but the placement in % of waterline leangth ??

I , like many others no doubt, joined this fantastic forum because of it's wealth of knowledge [ the members ] not to mention the whit & sarcasim - reads Humor - and have learnt so much and am gratefull for all advice to date
If I were to post some line drawings, dimentions,displacment etc, am I asking too much from profecional people for help advice via this forum ?.
I'm thinking that many of you designers enjoy the "shop talk" , and am not cynical enough to think that you visit here to hook clients.
I think on the whole, generally speaking, the members are a clever and experienced lot , more so in their paticular field .
I am an engineer, but don't have initials after my name, those that have, have said I should work for them . I will build our yacht, but need to ask about things I will learn.
I'll post some lines of the hull as I brought her. The decks are all but removed now as I'll be flush decking her - she needed the extra bouyancy & us the room . I'll also be dropping the keel [ what keel !? ] 150mm to give her some bite at low speeds with boards up.
Can't seem to post the pics ? - I'll try later.

Couldn't load the ADOBE files ??, I'll try to ??, what ?, copy them and paste in another file them try ?? . I'm not to computer savy.

I thought I'd show you'all the main engine to be installed, about 70hp brushless electric motor / alternator .
