Which maneuvering outcome arises when tacking Viking longships?

A)Momentary speed decreases occur
B)Sailcloth undergoes accelerated degradation
C)Hull experiences increased hydrodynamic drag
D)Crew endures higher physiological strain

💡 Explanation

Tacking involves turning through the wind, utilizing aerodynamic lift. Speed decreases briefly because the sails are momentarily luffing, creating minimal thrust, therefore slowing the vessel rather than maintaining constant speed.
