← HistoryWhich outcome happened when medieval carrack ships used multiple masts?
A)Improved maneuverability in favorable winds
B)Reduced need for freshwater ballast
C)Decreased vulnerability to pirates
D)Increased risk of hogging deformation✓
💡 Explanation
Hogging increased because uneven weight distribution between masts induced longitudinal bending moments. The ships experienced increased structural strain in the hull due to hull girder bending, therefore hogging risk increased rather than increased maneuverability.
