From analysis of De Jonge's list for March 1653

Based on my analysis of De Jonge's list for March 1653, I would make the following estimates for the Zeeland hired ships in service after the Three Days' Battle (Portland):
rank     commander                 guns crew Ship
kapitein Lambert Bartelszoon       28    85  some ship
kapitein Daniel Cornelisz Brackman 26    85  some ship
kapitein Andries Fortuijn          24    85  Eendracht
The real news is the guns and crew for Daniel Cornelisz Brackman's ship. The question, though, is if the Eendracht was the hired 24-gun ship, of it was Daniel Cornelisz Brackman's ship. If it was, then we would wonder what ship was the hired 26-gun ship. Sources:
