Which outcome occurred when the Viking longship sail's angle relative to the wind shifted adversely during a coastal raid?

💡 Explanation

Increased lateral drift resulted from adverse sail angles because the aerodynamic force vector component shifted sideways according to Bernoulli's principle, rather than acting predominantly forward; therefore, the ship moved sideways more than forward, rather than maintaining its intended course.
