The cockpit floorboards are made of light-colored wood. The hull interior, exterior, and floorboards are all finished with a high-gloss marine spar varnish or polyurethane. A manufacturer's decal that reads "Clyde" in blue text with a blue/white image of a seagull is located on the exterior port and starboard sides of the hull in the area of the forward seat. A chrome-plated metal handle is located on the foredeck at the stem and also one on each side of the transom.
