According to the polar diagrams I have for a 35 MKII the optimum VMG on the
run in 10 kts true wind is at an angle of 148 degrees, at 12 kts it is at

This agrees with Dennis's reply but gives you some numbers. These

Ideal angle depends on wind speed. In light air you have to sail hotter, in
heavy air you can sail more dead downwind. Key is to maximize VMG (wind
based). If you don't have instruments that can calculate VMB (wind based), set
a mark in your GPS 20 miles downwind and sail to maximize W
