The boat is a Bavaria 46 Cruiser from 2005. It oozes German quality, is safe, stable, and with a draft that allows you to get into most ports.
It has all the comfort you need, and a little more. There are 4 spacious cabins, two bathrooms, and plenty of room for 6 - 8 people.
The boat has roll genoa and roll main sail which makes it easy to adjust sailing depending on conditions. It is not a "racing" boat, but made more for comfort. At the same time, it sails well enough so you will not be last boat in port.
It has all the required safety equipment (new spring 2020). EPIRB, AIS SART, liferafts, automatic fire extingusher in engine room, lifewests etc etc.
There is TV onboard (not much used, but available), HIFI (with bluetooth for Spotify / radio). Smal but nice gally with refirigerting box.

review about Sail west coast of Norway and discover the fjords May 2023
We are in Norway and will cross the North Sea. So we will need a
day or two flexibility related to departure and arrival. But you
can stay onboard and explore the soroundings for no extra
charge.
Hiking boot are OK for some adventures ashore, but some kind of
proper shoes onbord is required. Bring a sleeping bad, or you can
rent linen onboard if required.
It will be shared cabins, so maybe bring a friend with you ?
