Type/Size of Automobile needed to tow various boats

Hi all:

Title says it all. What kind of car or truck is needed to tow various size boats. I know I could look up the weight of the trailer and towing capacity of vehicles, but I'm curious if the reccomendations hold in the real world.

Feel free to comment on all trailerable boats, but I'm most interested in smaller (<20') sailboats.

Sunfish? Cat 14.2? Hobie? Laser? Flying Scot? Others?

I'd like to know the minimum requirement. I'd imagine a sunfish could be strapped to the roof of a lot of small 4-cyl. sedans. But what about a Cat 14.2, Hobie; could 4cyl sedan safely move these about.

You get the gist by now.

Thanks in advance
