Is there any support for the use of "Nautical Club" as in the text ? Shouldn't we follow the page name ? Anyway, my dictionary say that the Spanish "Club Nautico" actually means "Yacht Club". -- Beardo 05:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further on this - Nautico is the name of that ares of Havana. Did the area take its name from the club ? Or the club from the area ? -- Beardo (talk) 03:41, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, "Club Nautico" was the actual name, perhaps "El Club Nautico" I have to check, give me a couple of days... ovA_165443 (talk) 15:08, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Both here https://www.cubanet.org/actualidad-destacados/quien-salvara-las-playas-del-oeste-de-la-habana/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20090314000139/http://archpaper.com/e-board_rev.asp?News_ID=3248 refer to it as "Club Nautico". I use to go there as a child (1956-58) and that's what I remember it was called in Havana. "Nautical Club" wouild be the correct translation in English, however, as you can see the Cubanet and the Architect's Newspaper use the name as used in Havana. To answer you other question, "Nautico" is not the name of the area although there were various private clubs and public beaches like La Concha. I believe one payed a small admission fee to get into the Nautico os it was semi-private as anyone could go. ovA_165443 (talk) 15:22, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be thinking of REPARTO Nautico http://wikimapia.org/5437096/El-Reparto-Nautico Also see here https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/travel/trip-ideas/where-to-go-havana-municipio-playa/ they call it Municio Playa. That area was also called "Coney Island" as there was a childrens playground by that name in front of La Concha, it is stil there although modernized. ovA_165443 (talk) 15:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I am not questioning the actual name - I am questioning whether it is right to use the English translation of those two words. Was it called "Club Nautico" because it is a beach club ? Or was it called that because the whole area was already called "Nautico" - including the "Reparto Nautico" which is next to the club.

Thanks for the link to the Architect's Newspaper - I am now intrigued to find where those buildings are. -- Beardo (talk) 01:21, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Club Nautico was the name of the building, the establishhment and the beach, it has always been called that even before Max Borges as far as know; you thik it should be "Nautical Club"? The buildings are still there although I've heard they are in bad shape like the rest of the buidings in Havana. Have you seen the three videos in the 'External Links' section? Also you should see Borges' page and the Tropicana. The Max Borges Jr. House_1958 is about 1-1/2 miles from the Nautico. I've witten some on Havana architecture and always used the name of the building as used there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Osvaldo_valdes_165443 ovA_165443 (talk) 02:27, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
