"Gilbert Hackforth-Jones' "Green Sailors" books? I seem to remember these were set in the Solent -- a brother and sister in their mid-teens?"
I did a search on tn the Amazon Books USA site, and there are quite a few Green Sailor titles published in the 50's to the 70's, (though the later may be reprints). Most are unavailable, and some are for sale used at well over one hundred dollars, similar to Elinor Lyon's later rare books.
