Which risk increases upon the failure of Viking longship's sail-reefing mechanism?

💡 Explanation

Capsize risk significantly increases without reefing availability because the increased sail area exposes the vessel to greater wind force leading to excessive heeling. Therefore leading to capsize, rather than structural damage from a broken hull under average strain.
