My daughter's boyfriend and his sculling teammates. Strong boys. Not
allowed to drink beer. Must consume copious quantities of pasta and salad.

Are you sure they are sculling teammates? I have been to many regattas and
never seen any sculling, except occasionally singles. More likely they are
rowing teammates.
Any while they probably have great endurance, they shouldn't be particularly
strong; better to get some boys from the football team.
