History

Which limitation arose when shipbuilding increased frame height, impacting stability?

A)Reduced hull structural stiffness
B)Increased cyclical fatigue risk
C)Elevated capsize vulnerability onset
D)Decreased sailcloth production output

💡 Explanation

Elevated frame heights raises the overall center of gravity, intensifying the rolling motion; **metacentric height** governs rotational stability. Therefore, greater frame heights increase capsize vulnerability earlier, because upward shift induces instability, rather than altered stiffness or unrelated production limits.
