Which maneuver by Viking longships increases during headwind sailing?

💡 Explanation

The leeway angle rises because shallow keels offer minimal resistance to sideways forces when facing headwinds; increased sail angles impart greater lateral force via hydrodynamic drift, therefore the ship drifts more sideways, rather than maintaining its forward course efficiently.
