Thanks David, armed with the name 'Peter Gerard', some hard Googling provided the following fragments:

She has started sailing at an early age, reportedly being entirely self-taught.

Books include:

Who Hath Desired the Sea, sailing between the two World Wars, starting with dinghies at Torquay,
and ending with her own ship, confined to harbour by WW II;

books listed as being by Charles Pears (possibly being by Peter Gerard and illustrated by CP?) include:

From the Thames to the Netherlands, a voyage in the waterways of Zealand & down the Belgian coast;
From The Thames To The Seine;
South Coast Cruising.

Can anyone provide a definitive bibliography? Or even Peter Gerard's real name?
