The genoa rails are good, but for pointing you need inf**kers indeed. I made some of low friction rings, with dyneema, 2:1 running to the mast, where an extra block devides the inf**kers to the piano.

I am still reading this article over and over again to get my head around it. It is very good!

Even North Sails writes a little about it: https://www.northsails.com/sailing/en/art-science-sails/gentry
