For anyone with an interest in America's Cup memorabilia, they have already published details of three support boats they are looking to sell.

The chase boats up for sale for about $70,000 with huge engines able to keep up with the team's winning 50-foot foiling catamaran, which can hit speeds of almost 50 knots (93 kilometres per hour).

After convincingly defeating holders Oracle Team USA the crew will be back in New Zealand next week, stopping off in Dubai where sponsor Emirates Airline is based.
