Longboats are designed to be elongated for several reasons, primarily to enhance speed and maneuverability on water. Their slender shape reduces drag, allowing them to glide more efficiently, especially in open seas. Additionally, the length provides stability, making it easier to navigate rough waters and carry more cargo or passengers. This design is historically significant for various cultures, enabling effective travel and trade over long distances.
