Khaled Jasim Al-Madfa lauded the club's staff, led by Ahmed Al-Husani, for their efforts in preparing the race venue to meet preparedness and safety criteria and in providing the required assistance for the racers.

He emphasised the importance of women's engagement in marine sports, saying that it provides an opportunity for other women who enjoy these activities to get involved, try out new water sports, and compete at both the local and international levels. He hoped for happiness and security for everyone.
