Which force limited Viking longship maneuvers against contrary winds?

A)Increased heeling with reduced sail area
B)Elevated seas striking clinker planking
C)Reduced centerboard preventing efficient tacking
D)Greater weather helm increased rudder drag

💡 Explanation

Reduced centerboard effectiveness limited upwind sailing because minimal lateral resistance caused significant leeway, therefore the longship was pushed sideways rather than forward, rather than efficient turning capabilities due to keel.
