Which risk increased in Viking longships when sailcloth production lagged?

💡 Explanation

Loss of sailcloth delayed voyages, which subjected ships to prolonged storms and amplified transverse instability because periodic wave forces could then more easily induce rolling. Therefore, capsizing risk increased, rather than corrosion or fouling which happen more slowly.
