I've had good success with plain old standard cellulose thinners and plenty of rags keep it soaking and it softens and comes off
Bit messy if your doing a large area but if its smaler patches then worth a try 25 ltrs is about 25 quid so not expensive and handy for all manner of things

never anti fouled for this reason, plus always kept my boats ashore but looking at this applying anti foul in reverse your hull will be pretty crap looking when all the coating is off leaving two options a respray finish to get a shine back or re-anti foul i would have thought unless someone knows different

when you say new do you mean intact [no holes, damage etc] but it will still have a key for the paint to adhere or it would just flake off. i would contact someone like hempel to see if they recommend anything but i suspect as BK has said thinners but you won't get it out of the key leaving a dull finish, if you're wanting a gloss finish [back to original] its worth finding out if you can paint on top of what you have as a prep for a two pack paint.

Nope I've done a few and it doesn't harm the gel coat
I've also stripped a few that had little or no surface prep and required only a light flat off with 1200 wet and dry then a good polish with a rotary machine to get the shine back
I think a lot of rib people know they may want to return to gellcoat finish one day so don't go too mad with the surface prep
I've seen big cruisers that looked like they'd been rubbed down with a house brick to key them

As beamishken says, cellulose thinners, often sold as gun wash, will be OK on the gelcoat. If it's not too coarse under the paint, you should know that matt finish is faster than glossy. Just passing it by you...
