Pente, our 2000 Catalina 36 as factory installed air conditioner. Based on the tag (see picture) has reverse heat feature.  Could somebody please compare the tag on your boat with the attached and confirm yours is same.   My wife and I have both attempted to change the settings to get reverse heat but no luck.  We have followed the manufacturers detailed manual and no heat.   Not to worry, I brought plug in electric space heater and extra sleeping bag.  Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Winter Storage of Sails
We sail Pente on the upper Mississippi River, Lake Pepin, 75 miles SE of Minneapolis.  January - February temperatures get as low as -25 to -30 F.   Boat is stored on jack stands outdoors.  In previous years I have always winter stored sails at home.  This year am considering leaving the jib up, very tightly furled. Main sail might be stored on the boat.  Jib is original to the boat (15 years old), blue sunbrella cover is in good shape.  Sails had minor repairs done last winter and both are in excellent shape.  I would leave multiple wraps on furled jib so it wouldn't become lose.  We have never had issues with rodents getting in boat. 
​Any really strong reasons why not go through the effort and ritual of taking down jib and storing sails in doors?  Pros:  Save lots of time in the fall and in spring commissioning.
