The Clipper mast head wind sensor (I believe) provides an NMEA 0183 signal, the Raymarine ST60 wind display has a Seatalk interface.
Is there a simple connection that would enable these to work together please?

Top google hit for "NMEA 0183 to Sseatalk convertor": Seatalk to NMEA 0183 Converter - Digital Yacht

Seatalk1 and NMEA 0183 are both basically serial data but they're incompatible as they send it differently.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could do this more cheaply using an Arduino if you've got the time and the patience but, on the other hand, the Digital Yacht convertor is bi-directional and opto-isolated.

Personally I am spending money to get away from Seatalk1, rather than investing further in it, but this can get expensive horrifyingly quickly.
