History

Which navigational consequence results when significant leeway occurs during a longship voyage?

A)Overestimation of speed occurs easily
B)Course diverges downwind of target
C)Increased reliance on celestial navigation
D)Decreased rudder effectiveness emerges subsequently

💡 Explanation

The intended course diverges downwind because *leeway* (sideslip) causes ships to drift perpendicular to their heading. Thus, *leeway* results in unintended course deviation, rather than solely impacting speed estimation, celestial navigation needs; rather than rudder issues.
