← HistoryWhich risk increased for Vikings negotiating shallows when complex running rigging degraded?
A)Rudder stalling from hydrodynamic drag
B)Increased vulnerability to hull sheering
C)Sail mismanagement impacting maneuverability✓
D)Loss of mast stability in gusts
💡 Explanation
Loss of integrity causes rigging failure because friction increases as fiber breaks lead to tangling; this directly impacts sail adjustments via friction, and thus maneuverability. Therefore sail mismanagement increases, rather than rudder/hull problems that predate rigging issues.
