History

Which primary consequence limits longship maneuverability when sailing against strong headwinds?

A)Increased frictional hull drag ratio
B)Elevated mast torsion fracture risk
C)Decreased sail efficiency induced stalling
D)Reduced rudder effectiveness via ventilation

💡 Explanation

Stalling reduces maneuverability because separation of airflow over the sail increases as the angle of attack increases due turbulent flow causing decreased lift; therefore, propulsion lessens rather than other factors limiting maximum thrust.
