← HistoryWhich outcome affects Viking longship maneuverability when differential sail adjustments are slow?
A)Rudder cable tension failure increases
B)Hull planking watertightness decreases
C)Torsion in structural keel increases
D)Yaw control precision decreases✓
💡 Explanation
Decreased yaw control precision will occur, because slow differential sail adjustments affect aerodynamic forces; the resulting force imbalance induces undesired yaw. Torque cancellation is slower, reducing steering authority during course corrections rather than creating other structural issues directly. Therefore, maneuverability suffers.
