My father used to have a trunk mounted wood thing as a rear rack and would use the windshield as the front rack. I wouldn't consider that set up to have been safe.... There used to be an MG on cape code that had a rack made out of 3" PVC tubing which mounted to the front and rear bumpers. The boat would be on the rack over the passenger area and didn't touch the roof or windshield of the car. Last week I saw a new toyota celica with a single roof rack carrying a Huki S1-X, which is 21 feet long. Instead of a rear rack the owner had made a "wall" out of foam, complete with a window, that he had attached to the spoiler. The top of the "wall" had a cut out for the boat to rest in.
