summary: The St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco was where Norwin Meneses held meetings and conducted business for his Contra-connected cocaine trafficking operation.
---
The St. Francis Yacht Club in [[San Francisco]] was where [[Norwin Meneses]] held meetings and conducted business for his Contra-connected [[cocaine]] trafficking operation. The exclusive waterfront venue reflected Meneses's status as a wealthy and well-connected figure in the Nicaraguan exile community.[^1]
### Meneses's Operations
Meneses used the yacht club as a venue for meetings with associates in his drug trafficking network. The setting illustrated the contrast between Meneses's outward respectability as a Contra supporter and community leader and his actual role as one of the largest cocaine distributors on the [[United States|U.S.]] West Coast. The club was one of several upscale San Francisco locations where Meneses conducted the business of moving drugs and money while maintaining the social profile of a legitimate businessman and political activist.[^2]
