History

Which increased navigational risk faced Viking longships failing to properly apply the 'beitiáss'?

A)Uncontrollable alteration of the sail shape
B)Reduced food caches remained serviceable
C)Increased chance of hull splintering
D)Crew mutiny more frequently materialized

💡 Explanation

Using 'beitiáss' adjusted the sail's curvature; failure could bring uncontrollable form alteration because its mechanism induced skewed wind capture driving unintended course changes; therefore shape control declined rather than structural or interpersonal faults.
