Which consequence results when Viking longship sails experience persistent yaw?

A)Increased risk of capsize
B)Progressive mast bending occurs
C)Hull buoyancy loss increases
D)Rudder effectiveness drastically increases

💡 Explanation

Yaw increases asymmetric aerodynamic force; this induces heeling due to asymmetric drag. Because center of gravity displacement amplifies, capsize risk increases; therefore, this is likelier rather than mast bending, which tolerates momentary lateral force better.
