History

Which risk increases when a Viking longship's sail experiences significant heeling?

A)Reduced crew survivability
B)Transverse center shifts outboard
C)Sail cloth fiber degradation
D)Rudder lock due to torque

💡 Explanation

Capsize risk increases because the center of buoyancy remains fixed therefore the transverse metacenter shifts outboard resulting in negative stability, rather than simply material or rudder malfunctions given the large sail area.
