← HistoryWhich outcome results to the sail when ancient Scandinavian longship mast ropes experienced significant weathering?
A)Increased rudder turn tensile forces
B)Decreased sail performance and speed ✓
C)Improved ship buoyancy stabilization
D)Increased armor plate ballistic resistance
💡 Explanation
Reduced sail performance emerges because the rope's molecular integrity is undermined causing progressive unraveling, therefore sail control diminishes with higher risks of tear rather than increased tensile force on steering elements, which relies on hydrodynamic effects from sail profile.
