Which risk escalates for Viking longships when encountering headwater streams?

💡 Explanation

Rudder damage risk increases during headwater navigation because a grounding event applies concentrated stress onto the rudder’s pivot: this is a Torque Overload, causing it to strain. Therefore, the rudder breaks more often, rather than other types of damage arising which relate more to consistent waves.
