Which outcome increased draft impacts experienced by Viking longships nearing coastlines?

💡 Explanation

Decreased buoyancy margins led to greater draft, increasing the likelihood of grounding, because decreasing hull sheathing reduces the buoyant force relative to the ship's overall weight, therefore increased grounding impact rather than maneuverability or sail strain in shallow waters.
