Which constraint increased when Viking longship sails experienced frequent rips?

💡 Explanation

Increased sail repairs depended on greater rope production because sail assembly and patch-weaving required fastening with rope; textile supply constrains rope, and rope demand influenced forest exploitation rather than changes in seal oil or sailcloth materials, therefore, rope capacity dictates longship sail use.
