AI-2: One Ama Hangs Low ?

With amas folded in, the starboard ama hangs almost two inches lower than the left.

OTOH, on the trailer the situation seems reversed: starboard higher than port:

The diff seems to be excessive play in the aft starboard aka.

It's not the knuckle: both knuckles are equally tight. It's the part that inserts into the xbar: more rotation on that one than on the other 3.

Strictly a convenience issue on land (a spar has to be wedged under the akas to keep the ama from rubbing on the beach wheels).

With amas extended, the only immedately-apparent effect es that it is harder to mount/dismount that ama - probably because of the subtle twist in the aka's post as it inserts into the ama.

But I have to wonder what is going on here and if I am headed for an "Interesting Experience" sometime out on the water on a windy day.

Anybody care to speculate ?

Has this AI had a hernia repair ?
