Peter Burling expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, viewing the win as a "confidence booster" ahead of the upcoming Grand Final where a significant prize of USD $2 million awaits the victor. The competitive spirit and impressive performances of the teams set the stage for an exciting conclusion to Season 4 of SailGP.
