Which instability arises from mismatched sail adjustments causing excessive weather helm in a tall ship?

💡 Explanation

When mismatched sails adjustments causes excessive weather helm, it leads to continual rudder corrections because the vessel persistently turns into the wind, creating elevated stress on the rudder. Therefore, stress rudder steering increases, rather than reduced maneuverability, drag changes, or mast fatigue, all of which involve separate mechanisms.
