Which navigational consequence results when significant leeway occurs during a longship voyage?

💡 Explanation

The intended course diverges downwind because *leeway* (sideslip) causes ships to drift perpendicular to their heading. Thus, *leeway* results in unintended course deviation, rather than solely impacting speed estimation, celestial navigation needs; rather than rudder issues.
