← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from reducing sail AREA of Viking Knarr ships?
A)Reduced heeling moment increased stability✓
B)Improved speed during coastal raiding
C)Increased cargo capacity during voyages
D)Deeper draft navigation near coasts
💡 Explanation
Reduced sail area lowered the center of effort, reducing the heeling moment during sailing, which improved static stability, because decreased overturning force. This modification enhanced seaworthiness therefore, rather than raid speed which needs maximum drive.
