Which maneuver risked capsize during Viking Age sailing?

💡 Explanation

Gybing shifts the sail's angle suddenly, using PITCHPOLE ACTION a type of rotary over-momentum that swings boom wildly across the boat; because high wind increases leverage of rotating mass, the torque can overcome vessel stability; therefore risk skyrockets, rather than lessened impact from other options.
