Which risk increased during square-rigged ship voyages when celestial navigation failed?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate celestial navigation could lead to accumulating errors in a ship's estimated position, especially longitude, because dead reckoning relies on the prior estimated accurate position; therefore, position error increased, rather than hull, rudder or sail degradation being fundamentally affected.
