Which consequence results when longship hogging develops mid-voyage?

A)Rudder effectiveness decreases significantly
B)Mast stability improves remarkably
C)Sail efficiency sees sizable gains
D)Draft remains optimally unchanged

💡 Explanation

Reduced rudder effectiveness occurs, because hogging deforms the hull, altering water flow; this hydrodynamic decoupling inhibits control, rather than benefiting maneuverability; therefore rudder input yields compromised steering especially during crosswinds.
