HAMILTON, Bermuda (Reuters) - Ben Ainslie is not about to give up steering the boat in his quest to bring the America's Cup back to Britain and is set to plan his next campaign as soon as he returns home next week.

Ainslie would prefer the next America's Cup to be sailed in the high-speed 50-foot catamarans that have thrilled sailors and spectators over the last month in Bermuda, but he told Reuters on Saturday he would be open to other types of boat.
