That's right, except that I think 'sinn' might be "their" ship.
Grammatically it could be "her" or "their" (referring back to the
subject of the main clause, Freydís, or the embedded/subordinate
clause, the brothers), but I got the impression she was asking them if
they'd come along with their ship which is bigger than the one she
has. Given what happens later, maybe she's already thinking about how
she can get her hands on it... 'fengjust' is the modern form of the
3rd person subjunctive plural = ON 'fengist', earlier 'fengisk'.
