← HistoryWhich operational consequence during Viking longship sailing increased the necessity for specialized 'línbindari' rope maintenance?
A)Sails experienced more frequent tearing✓
B)Rudder effectiveness exhibited limited control
C)Hull integrity showed lessened seaworthiness
D)Oar synchronicity impacted raid timing
💡 Explanation
Frequent long voyages with flax sails and hemp ropes exposed the línbindari to chafe-induced fatigue; the mechanism is abrasive wear. Therefore, sail tearing increased; otherwise sails would have been more durable and hull/rudder/raid issues would not be focused on rope management.
