Which outcome occurred because Viking longship square sails experienced deformation at high latitudes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced effective sail capture area occurred because icing increased sail mass altering sail's Aerodynamic performance beyond design limits, therefore reducing propulsive force, rather than causing structural failure because Norse sails used flexible materials resisting brittle fracture.
