Which risk acutely increased during a longship tacking maneuver, when attempting to sail nearly into the wind?

💡 Explanation

Sailcloth rupture becomes likely during tacking on longships because the sails experience increased tension concentrating force on a smaller area given the 'close-hauled' condition; therefore, the sail is the component with force imbalance, rather than the hull or rudder.
