Which consequence reduces longship speed when sailing against strong quartering winds?

💡 Explanation

Increased hull leeway occurs when the transverse component rises; this directly drives higher DRA when the hull does not track true. The mechanism becomes excess skin-friction DRAG; therefore leeway results rather than sail losing draft because hydrodynamic factors dominate.
