Taking a sail batten on a plane

score:9

Be on the safe side.

Buy a cardboard tube and pack your sail baton with bubble wrap; leave one side easily accessible if security wants to look at it (keep some tapes with you if wanting to secure it if needed).

Mark it with your name/address... put on a "fragile" sticker on it.

When doing your check-in at the counter, ask if you can bring it with you, if yes, then YEAH!, if not, then just check in the prepared tube.

This is a case where you won't know until you try. Technically, the batten is not a prohibited item and meets the liner requirements of most airline rules but it is still an odd shape.

You should be able to stow it like a cane.

They're pretty sturdy, but I would at least wrap it in something.
