Which behavior occurs when Viking longship sails experience transverse deflation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced maneuverability happens because sail transverse deflation changes airflow. This induces spanwise pressure redistribution along the sail (pressure gradient mechanism). Therefore, sail efficiency decreases, rather than increasing speed or catastrophically failing under normal load.
