History

Which consequence results when hemp fibers degraded rapidly during Viking voyages?

A)Increased sail control problems
B)Increased hall spars fracturing
C)Decreased water flow resistance
D)Decreased risk of mast collapse

Sails relying on rope rigging lose integrity due to hydrolysis; therefore, sail control decreases rather than improving, because rope strength diminished through hydroxide ions interactions reducing polymerization thus affecting wind force.
