Which risk increases considerably when improperly applying oakum during Viking longship construction?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic hull weakness increases significantly because the *caulking* process fails, primarily due to improper oakum application, causing increased water ingress between planks. This leads to rot and structural failure, rather than sail issues or keel/gravity shifts.
