There are several RC boats that use Genoa sails. Microsalies make an excellent kit with a working Genoa. (http://www.microsail.com/index.html)
The Robbe Atlantis kit that uses a Genoa, I have built two and the sail tacks on a clever track. (http://www.rchobby.co.uk/atlantis_se...odel_of_a.html).

It's not only possible, It work very well.
