Which risk increases when a late 18th-century square-rigged ship is steered sharply to increase its wetted surface?

💡 Explanation

Heightenened heeling hydrodynamic instability results in because increased wetted surface area generates more wave drag, exaggerating roll. This is the metacentric height phenomena; therefore, ships can capsize easily rather than experiencing purely translational drag increase without heeling risk.
