A friend of mine built one.  It's a nice boat.

What kinds of suggestions were you looking for?  Since it was a generic 
request,  the only thing I can suggest is that you take your time, pay 
attention to detail, and ask specific questions if you're not sure about a 
particular step.  I'd also recommend the CLC building forum.  While it's 
true that it's sponsored by Pygmy's primary competitor, it's a forum for 
people that are building or have built stitch-n-glue boats and the 
construction techniques are mostly the same.  When I built my CLC boat (a 
Northbay XL) I found a lot of information through that BBS that wasn't in 
the manual which saved time or potential headaches.  Sit down for a few 
hours and read through their archives and you'll find lots of useful 
information.
