Thanks everyone. I'll given a hairdryer, meths and acetone a go, though obviously not at the same time, and quickly in acetone's case.
My chemistry's very old and rusty, but I take it that the glue used in masking tape requires a polar solvent?

I had this problem on a car. I went to a local panel beaters, a chap I happen to know, and he gave me some liquid decanted from a large container. I don't know what it was, may have been acetone based, what ever it was it worked a treat.

The only problem I find with acetone is that it dissolves everything..including the boat..

Interesting, had same problem a few weeks ago, but after only 3hours!! .
Had devils own job removing it, acetone probably worked best. However! just went over boat with pressure washer to remove grime after craning in etc and I noticed that all the final little bits of masking tape aroiund paint edges just instantly softened and went away really easily.
Blue from B and q worked perfectly on next job
