Video below shows how right a capsized Flying Scot. Note
prevent mast from turtling. Note the importance of having a
safety line at stern of FS for re-entry to boat. A FS may be
difficult to reboard without a safety line or swim ladder.

Excellent videos in which Coach Greg Fisher comments on sailing
style of student and gives student directions to improve sailing
technique. CSF - "Coach Greg Fisher: Video #1"

I have embedded some
videos from Youtube below.
Serious and want to be
serious Flying Scot sailors,
