Rarely, but sometimes, it would be advantageous to deliberately take a foul and doing the penalty spins. Is there any particular problem with this? For example, it might be better to rub the pin at the start line, and do the penalty spin later, rather than duck under the pin and have to come back behind all the other boats. It might also be advantageous to interfere with another boat if it would knock them out of contention in a regatta. Is there any particular issue with deliberately causing a foul so long as the penalty spins are taken?
By "particular issue" I mean is there anything in the rules about this. I'm not questioning the "being a complete jerk" factor.
