Welcome to the forum.
Just checking out Zar boats - look good.
On the other models there's a bow roller and a cleat. Look at the possibility of retro-fitting them, otherwise as the boat moves the anchor rope will drag over your tubes. That central channel on the tube is designed give some protection to the tubes from ropes, but you need something on the bow pad to keep the rope in location.
I'd also tether the rope as security on one the aluminium lifting eyes inside. The D rings although strong are probably meant for securing loads underway.
Plenty content on the forum regards anchors if you search, and what kind of ground you're running over. Consensus is grapnels are fine only for short-term stops and definitely not over-night anchoring. Also buy plenty short-link chain, as it's the chain that adds the weight.
Word of warning over Ebay anchor bundles if you're looking. The short-link chain in my experience is usually poorly galvanised and will stain your boat in a few months. Buy from chandlers and make it up yourself with all the hardware you need. You can get gardening soft-plastic buckets to feed into, etc.
