Which risk increases when Viking longship rigging experiences hysteresis?

💡 Explanation

Sail fatigue increases because rope hysteresis causes internal friction and progressive weakening due to repeated cyclic loading, ultimately affecting associated components such as the sails. Therefore the risk is fatiguing the rigging, rather than the bindings or the oars, which rely on different mechanisms of failure.
