← HistoryWhich maneuver risks keel damage in Viking Drakkar longships during sharp turns?
A)Excessive induced heeling✓
B)Insufficient sail trimming
C)Mismatched oar synchronization
D)Overloaded cargo distribution
💡 Explanation
Excessive heeling causes grounding because the Turning moment exceeds righting moment, increasing the draft and potential for keel contact. This reduces maneuvering and increases risk, therefore induced heeling endangers the keel, rather than sail trim affecting propulsion, oar sync affecting speed, or cargo stability.
