This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

Felip Joosten's ship in September 1652
Witte de With's journal for September 1652 lists the guns and crew for Felip Joosten's ship: 38 guns and a crew of 138 men. Then I looked at my unpublished list of Dutch captains and ships, "Dutch Ships 1600-1700", and realized that he commanded a ship named Hollandia. I immediately wondered if this ship was that used by Jan Evertsen as his flagship. Perhaps Felip Joosten was Jan Evertsen's flag captain. In any case, Felip Joosten's ship seems to be the same ship, as there was no other 38-gun ship named Hollandia. That ship was 120ft x 29ft. By late 1652, Adriaan Bankert commanded the ship and was Evertsen's flag captain. The Hollandia was eventually lost at the Battle of Scheveningen. By then, Jan Evertsen flew his flag in a new ship, the Vlissingen.
