Which outcome arose in Viking Age longships from sails experiencing icing?

💡 Explanation

Reduced buoyancy occurs due to increased weight aloft because ice accretion elevates the ship's center of gravity, decreasing its metacentric height which impacts stability; therefore capsize is more likely rather than increased speed, as icing mainly adds excessive mass.
