Which outcome occurred in Viking longships when ice accumulation significantly increased on the sail?

💡 Explanation

Capsize risk increased because ice accumulation increased the vessel's top weight, altering the center of gravity via Metacentric Height reduction. This destabilized the ship; therefore, capsize risk was higher rather than increased stability.
