Which outcome resulted from square sail limitations during medieval voyages with prevailing westerly winds?

💡 Explanation

Greater reliance on rowing occurred due to square sails' inefficiency against headwinds; the sail's area maximizes downwind sail, but limited lateral force caused difficulty sailing upwind requiring oar power, therefore increased rowing dominated rather than relying solely on wind because square sails caught side area poorly.
