Which outcome occurred when medieval longship sails experienced excessive heeling?

💡 Explanation

Reduced rudder effectiveness occurred due to increased heel angle influencing submerged surface area, causing control issues because the hydrodynamic force acting through the rudder diminished. Steering control decreased; therefore the rudder became insufficient, rather than sail damage directly impacting propulsion.
