The rules state that, if a mark drifts or is dragged out of position, the RC should (IF POSSIBLE) replace/relocate it to its original position. Your problem was that there simply wasn''t enough time for that to happen. I think you did the right thing by rounding the mark and attached boat because you probably could not "prove" the original location of the mark. If your finish was affected by this, you probably could have filed for redress but this situation would not prompt a general recall.
