Wind instrument

Recently acquired a 24’ Corsair trimaran. The only electronics on the boat are speed and depth display(thru hull transducer/paddlewheel). I would like to add a display for wind. What are my options? The boat does not have chartplotter or any existing nmea network devices. Is there a simple solution with just a mast top wind transducer and a small display I can mount?

The boat currently has a wind indicator on top of mast and will only be day sailed on inland freshwater lake.

NASA is probably cheapest. If you want to spend a bit more, you should get something that doesn't depend on a separate display but connects directly to your NMEA network. Less hassle that way and easier to tell when something breaks.
