North would not mind if Aussies win yacht title
Ousted Enterprise skipper Lowell North says he would not mind if Australia wins the America's Cup but denies helping the Aussies plot against Ted Turner. He bucked tradition by not rallying behind Courageous, the defender that beat Enterprise to face Australia in September races. If Australia prevails, American sailing supremacy ends and the next cup would be held in Australia in 1980.
