History

Which of these consequences increases when Viking longship square sails experience persistent strong crosswinds?

A)Lee side leeway increases
B)Rudder effectiveness proportionately declines
C)Masthead corrosion accelerates extremely rapidly
D)Hull planking delamination drastically accelerates

💡 Explanation

Lee side leeway increases because excessive side force causes greater *sideslip*, with the vessel moving partly sideways rather than solely forward; therefore leeway increase, rather than rudder decline affecting control if correctly trimmed or simply structural component damage.
