Which navigational consequence arises when Viking longship sails experience excessive heeling?

💡 Explanation

Increased heeling causes sail area reduction resisting the wind, the increased force generates sideslip. This increased leeway occurs because the center of effort shifts abeam resulting in turning torque, therefore veering off course rather than maintaining direction.
