A 20 ft trailer sailer will generally weigh around 1000 kg, plus trailer and rigging. And just because a Corolla can technically tow 1500 lb doesn't mean it do

A 20 ft trailer sailer will generally weigh around 1000 kg, plus trailer and rigging.
And just because a Corolla can technically tow 1500 lb doesn't mean it does it well. In my experience Corollas do not tow well. The combination of small engine and relatively high gearing means that it's not really suitable. You really need at least a 2 L engine for towing.
That's not to mention all the other stuff you end up carrying around for the boat, such as fuel, tools, life jackets, etc.
