Which constraint complicates Viking longship navigation along fjords?

💡 Explanation

Reduced space affects steering because the rudder's leverage decreases, limiting course change. Therefore, accurate turns become notably difficult; rather than wind drag, depth, or ice restricting movement, rudder control presents a maneuverability constraint due to reduced moment arm properties.
