Rankin managed the Nonsuch replica for seven years and wrote the book, The Nonsuch. The Nonsuch travelled over land and sea before coming home to the Manitoba Museum. Rankin says, "Aside from the considerable history this replica represents, the Nonsuch and her gallery home are unique in the world. They belong to us. We enjoy the bragging rights." Don't miss the opportunity to see what the fuss is about! And to talk to the man who experienced the "once in a lifetime" experience of sailing on the Nonsuch replica.
