History

Which 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.
