Sara - I had a similar problem a few years ago.  It turned out that sediment
from the water tanks had clogged the aerator on the galley sink faucet.
Removed it, cleaned, and problem solved.  Now I remove the aerator when I
flush the tanks every year.  

In your case the cold water is fine, but the hot water is not flowing.  If
you are getting good hot water flow in the head, then it is probably
something in the galley fixture or a kink in the hot water line.

This is my first post as a Catalina owner (Wandering Star hull #707 built in
2000).  The cold water flow at the galley sink is fine.  However, the hot
water flow is restricted and getting worse. It's nothing more than a dribble
now.  I read through the discussions and discovered I can disassemble the
drawers and frame to get at the hoses but before I go through all that I
thought I'd see if anyone has ideas to try first.  Thanks!!
