Which outcome limits a 'longship' sea voyage when sailcloth degrades?

A)Diminished hull displacement efficiency
B)Reduced transverse metacentric height
C)Decreased maneuverability under sail
D)Elevated longitudinal hydrodynamic drafting

💡 Explanation

Degrading sailcloth affects sail's effectiveness via increased porosity causing airflow disruption through the sail area; thus lift is reduced, impacting vessel control/responsiveness; therefore maneuverability declines, rather than hull or displacement, because it relates to vessel reaction.
