The New Zealand skipper whose team BMW Oracle has won sailing's America's Cup hopes that their defeated opponent Alinghi stays in the game.
BMW Oracle defeated the defender Alinghi by nearly five and a half minutes to take the best-of-three series two-nil - ending two and half years of bitter legal action between the two teams.
The American team's skipper Russell Coutts says he was impressed with the performance put on by the Swiss in the wake of a big defeat in the first encounter and still rates them as a top team.
BMW Oracle's owner Larry Ellison says the question of a venue for the next cup has to be discussed with psosible hosts such as San Francisco, San Diego, and Newport.
