Which outcome results when longship hogging beyond design limits?

A)Frame joints experience increased shear
B)Sailcloth undergoes increased UV degradation
C)Rope rigging experiences accelerated creaking
D)Keel experiences increased hydrodynamic drag

💡 Explanation

Increased shear stresses on frame joints results when hogging exceeds the vessel's capacity, because hogging induces bending stress concentrated at these points due to relative movement; therefore, frame joints weaken, rather than keel drag or cosmetic issues with sail/rigging.
