You gotta remember ,they were sailors not flyers as opposed to the other teams that put their decals below the waterline.
These boats sort of have redefined "waterline".
Unless it is a substantial difference between the two, industry practice is that the the graphics be installed to align with the shape of the vehicle since that is the largest point of visual reference...It's like aligning a pickup truck wrap with the ground instead of the body lines of the truck (factory light duty pickups have about a 2.5" difference between the front and the back elevations making all of the body lines slope down toward the front). ...but this is what happens when you have too many sailors and engineers making artistry decisions (speaking as one who lives in all three categories )
