What earlier triangular sails would change in northern Europe

What would change if triangular sails reached northern Europe one or two centuries earlier?

Longer-range sailing would probably begin earlier, but the immediate wider changes would be limited.

The counterfactual has a deliberately limited effect. The rig would allow northern European sailors to undertake longer-range voyages earlier than they otherwise did. The sail alone would not instantly trigger a much broader historical revolution. The answer cautions against assigning unlimited consequences to one technology.
