Yes they are. A certain amount of rocking, pumping, and ooching is
legal. Common practice in most fleets, shucks even the better PHRF
racers are doing it nowadays.... but so far I haven't seen any boat do
it as fast as a Thistle.

According to the latest copy I have of "The Rules of Racing", none of the
actions you describe are legal, in any amount.I would hate to think that the
folks we race against in PHRF cheat, though I'm sure it does happen, God
help you if you get caught.
