Merge of race articles
editI'm not sure about the merits of merging all the standalone race articles into this main page. The main page is already quite long and we don't want it to become unwieldy. I think it would have been preferable to keep the race articles and expand them. Mattlore (talk) 19:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- I agree, I don't see the reason. /Smartskaft (talk) 19:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

- Ok, I'll be bold and unmerge them. I welcome further discussion here. Mattlore (talk) 20:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
race type
editDoes it fall into fleet or match race category?213.149.62.88 (talk) 18:42, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
Change event name
editVolvo is no longer the name sponsor, and from 14 Feb 2019 the race is called The Ocean Race. I think the name of this page should change, as it did when Volvo took over from Whitbread. Or should a new page be created for the Ocean Race with links back to the Volvo Ocean Race main page?[1]Maz at volvooceanrace (talk) 11:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- I would just rename the page. I think there is automatically a redirect from the old name (Volvo Ocean Race) to the new page. Wild8oar (talk) 11:23, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
No Fresh Food (lead)
editIs there a source that actually states fresh food is not permitted after the start of the race? Of the two sources used, one (the video) makes no mention of it while the other (the Wired article) merely says they eat freeze-dried food, which is not the same thing as saying fresh food is banned. Given the fact the article states "too much food will add unwanted weight to the boat," it reads more like the use of freeze-dried food is a strategy enacted by the boat(s), not a rule set by the race organizers. 104.184.182.119 (talk) 08:40, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
