← HistoryWhich 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.
