Which outcome regarding sail performance arises from increased frictional drag on early Viking longship sails?

💡 Explanation

Lower sail efficiency reduces energy imparted to the vessel, limiting attainable speed because skin friction from the sail's weave causes parasitic drag affecting momentum transfer; therefore maximum speed is reduced rather than any navigational advantage or wind modifications.
