← HistoryWhich consequence results when seam integrity in Viking longship sails degrades?
A)Reduced windward sailing capability✓
B)Inaccurate celestial navigation appears
C)Increased hull's turbulent wake forms
D)Rope bridge tension fluctuations arise
💡 Explanation
Reduced windward sailing occurs because sail degradation induces increased aerodynamic drag, which reduces lift generation, and thus decreased ability to sail upwind; therefore performance suffers, rather than navigation errors or hull turbulence.
