← HistoryWhich consequence results when longship hogging develops mid-voyage?
A)Rudder effectiveness decreases significantly✓
B)Mast stability improves remarkably
C)Sail efficiency sees sizable gains
D)Draft remains optimally unchanged
💡 Explanation
Reduced rudder effectiveness occurs, because hogging deforms the hull, altering water flow; this hydrodynamic decoupling inhibits control, rather than benefiting maneuverability; therefore rudder input yields compromised steering especially during crosswinds.
